Membership of Friends of the Hurtwood – a “how to” guide
In this section we answer questions about becoming a member, how to make changes to your contact details or your donation and, how to cancel your membership
1) Becoming a Member
You can become a Member by clicking on any of the DONATE buttons which can be found throughout our website. This will link you to our donation page at Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), who we have appointed to process donations on our behalf.
There are two ways to become a Friend of the Hurtwood:
a) Make a regular donation, monthly or annually, by means of a direct debit. Most of our donors prefer this approach because as long as their direct debit is active their membership will remain in place
b) Make a single donation by card or PayPal to become a Member for one year. Shortly before the renewal date an email will remind you to make another donation to renew your annual membership, otherwise your membership will expire. All personal details will be deleted one year after expiry of your membership.
2) Change personal details
a) Change of email address
It is vital that we hold an up to date email address for you because email is used for all member communication. Therefore please tell us if you change your email address by emailing [email protected] from your new email address. Please include the old email address and your full name in the text so that we can update our records
b) Change of postal address
Please let us know if your postal address changes. Simply email [email protected] with the details and we will update our records
3) Change direct debit

Our partnership with Charities Aid Foundation permits us to make changes to a direct debit but you must instruct us first. You can request us to make a change by emailing [email protected]. CAF will send an email to you confirming any changes we have made
