MEMBERSHIP

As part of our voting system at our AGM, it was previously recommended also that all Irish groups and societies have a minimal membership fee.

We’ll leave the link here for you to pay £5 membership or whatever you can afford.

Over the past year, we have been very lucky to receive a grant from the Emigrant Support Programme. This year, it paid for our web hosting and domain as well as our Zoom costs for meetings as well as promotional materials. However, we don’t have any extra money for any incidentals that may occur. This is what we use our membership monies for.

You can click the link paypal.me/lilgbt and pay us £5.00 or whatever you can afford.

*Please be aware that due to PayPal rules, the account name will show up as that of our current Chair. This is our LILGBT account and any monies received will go directly to the group.*

A couple of members have asked for other ways to pay for membership.

You may have heard of Patreon, a system where content creators or organisations can have a subscription where you get videos / blogs /perks earlier than everyone else. We have chosen a similar service called KO-FI.

You will need to sign in to be able to pay £5 or whatever you can.

Unfortunately, there are a few steps to take for you to do this, but we wanted to ensure that there were a couple of options for you.

We will send an Eventbrite link shortly for you to book your ticket for our AGM.
