Associate membership is only for people who pay a full membership to another branch of u3a; we offer them a reduced membership, (£6) because we do not pay affiliation fees for them to the Third Age Trust; their insurance etc. is provided by their ‘home’ branch.
Members of other u3as, without associate membership, can still attend our meetings and take part in our trips and interest groups provided that spaces are not needed for Kenilworth members, who take priority.
What happens Next: Once we receive your application form and payment, you will receive through the post your membership card and a copy of this year's Handbook.
Payments
The bank now charges us for cheque and cash deposits, so we request that, where possible, all payments are made by bank transfer.
We will, of course, continue to accept cheques and cash if online banking or telephone banking are not possible.

Gift Aid
As Kenilworth u3a is a registered charity we can claim Gift Aid on subscriptions; this allows us to claim 25p in every £ of your subscription. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK tax payer. You do not need to sign the form but you must tick the box and date the form to indicate your agreement to us claiming Gift Aid on your subscription. If you do not want us to claim Gift Aid please leave the box blank.
Once you have completed a Gift Aid form you will not need to complete one again in future unless you need or wish to change it. Please notify us if: You want to cancel this declaration as you no longer pay sufficient tax to cover your subscription (or for any other reason; you do not have to tell us why). You change your name or home address. If you pay income tax at the higher or additional rate and you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HMRC to adjust your tax code.
