Membership

Engender is a membership organisation, both for individuals and organisations.

I want to join as an individual

All feminist women are welcome to join Engender, there is an annual membership cost for those who are able to pay, and free membership for anyone who needs it.

Individual members of Engender get:

• Friday Feminist Five. Every Friday a summary of the most important stories, events, and information of the week will land in your inbox.
• Preview copies of our research reports and lobbying documents.
• Invitations to Engender’s members-only discussion events and training.
• Priority booking for our free public events
• Discounts on our (occasional) ticketed events
• Voting rights at our Annual General Meeting

Membership fees:

Membership costs £20 a year, or £5 for students (just put 'student' in the discount code box, and enter your graduation date – we’ll contact you once you’ve graduated to see if you are in a position to increase your membership payment).

We want all women to be members of Engender regardless of circumstances, so if you can’t pay, just drop us an email at info@engender.org.uk and we'll give you a discount code for free membership. There’s no need to tell us why you need the code, we just need to hear from you so we can activate your membership.
If you are in a position to make an additional monthly payment to Engender to support our work, we’d love to invite you to become a Friend of Engender. Friends of Engender donate £5 or more a month, instead of an annual fee.

I want to join as an organisation or group

We welcome women’s organisations, based in Scotland, who share our values to join us. We offer organisational membership to women’s organisations and organisations with women’s section, departments, or units, as well as women only organisations, campaign groups, and societies, and affiliate membership to organisations which don’t work specifically on women’s issues, but support our aims and align with our broader values.

Organisational membership is only open to organisations who are corporate bodies, but these groups can still be listed on our website and nominate a named representative. You can find more information on what happens when your organisation applies for membership or listing here.

Why join?
