Thank you for considering joining SWIDN as a paid member!

The South West International Development Network (SWIDN) supports and connects NGOs, civil society, think tanks, academics, consultants and private sector organisations to work more efficiently and collaboratively towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Membership fees help to keep the network running and it simply couldn't operate without the invaluable support of its members.

We are a registered charity so 100% of your membership fee is invested back into the network to help fund it's coordination and activities.

We offer a number of membership benefits - please see the table below for the full range of benefits available.

We have tiered membership fees, starting at £25/yr for individuals or £50/yr for consultants and priced according to income for organisations. You or your organisation must be based in the South West to be eligible for our membership. Please see the buttons below for the different categories of membership including prices.

All membership registrations will be reviewed before approval to check that applicants are contributing to the delivery of the SDGs.

Please note that when you join, your membership will be set up as an annually recurring subscription that will be paid via the same card payment method on the same date each year. You will receive a reminder email at least 2 weeks prior to a renewal payment being made so that you can update payment details if necessary or cancel in good time. If you have any queries about this, please email info@swidn.org.uk
