Membership fees
The CJA does not receive public funds in order to maintain its independence. Alongside support from trusts and foundations, membership fees are an important source of funding for the CJA to carry out its vital work. We are keen that CJA membership is set at an affordable rate for your organisation. The fee you pay for membership will depend on your organisation’s turnover. The current annual membership fees are:
| Turnover | Annual Membership Fee |
| Less than £50,000 | £45.00 |
| £50,000 to £500,000 | £65.00 |
| £500,000 to £1,000,000 | £90.00 |
| £1,000,000 to £10,000,000 | £155.00 |
| More than £10,000,000 | £290.00 |
*These fees are reviewed by the Board of Trustees on an annual basis
