Annual fees
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
B)Multiply the number of shops with a net selling space of 5,000 sq ft (464.5 sq m) to 9,999 sq ft (928.9 sq m) by £75.10
C) Multiply the number of shops with a net selling space 10,000 sq ft (929 sq m) or more by £150
