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).

Need some ideas?

If your organisation is finding it difficult to fund the cost of John Muir Trust group membership, here are a few simple ideas to get you started.

• Fundraise – Could your organisation hold a plant or bake sale; run a quiz night; or organise a sponsored event?
• Community contributions – Taking action to benefit wild places can also bring benefits for local people. Are there organisations in your community who might be interested in supporting your plans by contributing to your annual membership subscription?
• Grants – The funding landscape changes constantly, but it’s worth checking for any schemes that might suit your organisation. Websites such as Creative Star and GrantFinder can be useful places to get ideas and find out about current opportunities that suit your location and type of organisation.
