Join AIMS - Become a Member

AIMS has supported its work through membership since shortly after its founding in 1960. Membership is fundamental to our ability to undertake campaigns for improvements to the maternity services, produce the online AIMS Journal and birth information pages and to run the AIMS helpline.

By being a member of AIMS you will be directly helping other women, birthing people and families. AIMS is its members, and if you are also able to contribute your time to volunteer, you could make even more of a difference! Click here to see our volunteers page.

The full rate is £45 and can be paid either as a single annual payment or as 12 monthly instalments of £4 - that’s the price of a coffee a month. However, we know that not everyone can justify spending this much to support us. As we truly want AIMS membership to be accessible to as many people as possible we are happy to arrange for you to subscribe at a lower rate. Please let us know if you would like to do this by emailing membership@aims.org.uk. If you feel you are able to contribute more than £45 we would be very grateful for an additional donation.

Membership Options

  • Annual Individual Membership £45
    Membership of AIMS for individuals. We send you regular newsletters with updates about the AIMS Journals, campaigns and other information and ways to get involved in AIMS activities.
  • Individual Membership paid monthly £4 (set up an online subscription or a standing order)
    Same membership, but paid monthly - just the price of a coffee a month!

Payment Methods

  • Online: Become an individual member or set up a organisation or group subscription by clicking here.
  • Standing Order: Details about setting up a standing order can be found here
  • Cheque: Please email membership@aims.org.uk to arrange to send a cheque.
