Membership


There are two types of membership: Branch Membership and Postal Membership

Branch Membership

Most people will take Branch Membership if they are looking for face-to-face social interaction and are able to attend their local branch for meetings and visits away from home. Branch membership will include both an annual National subscription of £30 covering nationwide benefits and a local branch subscription of £7.50 intended to fund the additional local activities. There is a small supplement for those who wish to receive our newsletter by post.

Branch membership is available to retired NHS staff and their spouses/partners as well as those retirees who previously worked in NHS institutions.

Those considering branch membership can view our activities on these pages and can attend Croydon branch meetings for an entry fee of £2

Postal Membership


Postal members can enjoy the benefits of national membership if they are unable to access a local branch. The benefits of National subscription (cost £30) are described on the NHSRF membership page of the national website and include discounts on holidays, insurance and will-writing as well as retail opportunities. Benefits were reviewed in our branch newsletters 43 - 46. Postal members are welcome to attend occasional Croydon branch meetings for an entry fee of £2

Subscriptions for 2025 - 2026 will renew from April 1st 2025
