The membership year runs from 1 April – 31 March.

Net selling space: Please note that net selling space does NOT include the backroom, office, warehousing or rooms where selling is not done and the public is not admitted.

If your charity has 0-4 shops then it will not need to calculate selling space and will continue to be charged the flat rate of £245 + VAT for physical shops.

N.B. The vast majority of our members’ shops will be in the A size category.

For other chain sizes, calculate your rate according to the size of your chain, as follows:


Charities with 0 – 4 physical shops

Your rate remains at £245 + VAT


Charities with 5 – 20 physical shops

A) Multiply the number of shops with a net selling space of 4,999 sq ft (464.5 sq m) or less by £49.80
