Join the Bath Preservation Trust

We need your support to strengthen influence in our work. Quite simply, the more members the Trust has, the more weight our views carry.

In addition, membership support is a vital source of income – the scope of the Trust’s work can be widened in direct proportion to its financial resources. We also welcome help from our members to assist with the running of our museums and many other areas of the Trust’s activities. Simply complete the Membership Application Form and return it to The Membership Secretary. If you can pay by standing order this greatly cuts down our administration costs, and if you are able to give the Trust a donation, please add it to your subscription.

Thank you
Membership Secretary
