IHBC members are reminded that late fees are now being collected, while failure to pay in the coming weeks will result in removal from our membership listing and loss of benefits and services, including any relevant accreditation, so if you have been notified about payments due, or are not sure of your situation, please act fast.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘If you are due to pay your fees, please progress the payment as soon as possible, as it will save us, as a charity, incurring even more administrative costs.’
‘IHBC’s fees are comparatively low for career support and professional membership, as at most it is less than £2 per week after tax, while for many members it is much less! That supports your career and income as well as offering savings on lots of important training and networking.’
‘But our low fees also mean that our costs for late payers are proportionately much higher than for other bodies, so late payment makes a huge difference to the charitable operations of the IHBC.’
‘If you are not sure that you have paid, or if you think you have not heard about it, or if you may not have updated any new contact details with us, do please urgently let our membership services officer, Carmen, know, at membershipservices@ihbc.org.uk’.
‘And remember that we always offer great value, so our fees are not a barrier to IHBC’s professional membership support! They are deductible for most tax-payers, and we offer substantial income-based discounts as well as extra support for members in education and in need.’
