Existing Members
The current membership year runs from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026. The window for renewal for the period 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027 is now open and renewal will cost £20.
Where possible we ask that you Renew online. Online renewal is done via the Beacon system, a database where we keep all our membership information. Beacon is used by hundreds of u3as and it satisfies all the appropriate security requirements. Most of you set up your Beacon access last year and will have a password.
Please login to Beacon and check your detailse.g. address, phone number, emergency contact, etc
(If you have not previously registered online with Beacon and would like help, please book a support session by clicking on one of the Renewal Support options below.)
After paying your Renewal your membership card will be sent to you by email. Please note: Beacon may offer to let you pay the Renewal fees for all members at the same address as one transaction. If you are a taxpayer and intend to claim Gift Aid please Renew individually.
