Register & Join Online

The first part of the joining process requires registering with the Sound Sense website. This essential first step affords you access to services integral to your membership. To start the registration process click the link below. If you are already registered and are looking to renew your membership, please click here.

Once you have completed your registration, you will be directed to our secure PayPal facility. Here you can subscribe to Sound Sense with quarterly payments from your credit or debit card. Once you've set up your PayPal subscription successfully, you're all done. Your membership is effective immediately after your payment is confirmed. We will collect your subscription payments automatically each quarter so that you continue to benefit from Sound Sense membership. We will email you, generally within a day or so of your first payment, with more details of your new subscription.

Alternatively, if you would prefer to pay for your membership by quarterly Direct Debit, you will be able to download a Direct Debit instruction form following registration. For information on any aspect of joining Sound Sense or making your subscription payments, please email info@soundsense.org, and we will be happy to help.

Renewing an existing subscription?
At the same time as you take out the subscription, email us at info@soundsense.org to tell us you're an existing member so that we don't sign you up twice!
Not in the UK?

We'd love you to join Sound Sense! Although our organisation is based in the UK, and most of our members live and work here, we are keen to promote and support community music internationally. We recognise and value the contributions of community music colleagues across the globe, and warmly welcome you to our network.

Since June 2021, our member rates apply internationally and you may join using the links above. If payment by PayPal is not suitable for you, then please contact us for details on how to pay by bank transfer.

Please note that territorial limits apply to our members' public liability insurance scheme. Individual members based outside of the UK are only covered for work undertaken in the UK. You can find full details at: soundsense.org/member-services/insurance.

Things to note

Membership is for a minimum period of a year and then runs yearly. If you do decide to cancel at any point we cannot refund any outstanding portion of your subscription. We normally take fees quarterly for your convenience, but we reserve the right to ask for yearly payments, or to refuse applications altogether.

Member benefits for organisations

We offer three categories of membership for organisations, all with different benefits. The table below shows what you'll get so that you can select the right category of membership for your organisation. Please get in touch with us if you would like any further information about organisation membership - we'll be happy to help.
