Group Membership for Award Providers
In order to deliver the John Muir Award we require all Award Providers to hold Group Membership of the John Muir Trust. (An Award Provider is the direct organisation whom the Award Leader is associated with). The membership fee covers all approved Award groups delivered within your organisation.
For an annual payment of £66, in addition to the standard member benefits Award provider organisations benefit from:
- 1-1 support from the Award Team in planning your John Muir Award(s)
- Free digital certificates for your Award participants and provider organisation (available on completion of Award activities).
- Free John Muir Award digital resources including printable Record Books for participant use, and a Provider Toolkit with digital assets you can use to promote your organisation as an Award Provider (following successful delivery of the Award).
