Join the Bath Preservation Trust

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

In addition, membership support is a vital source of income – the scope of BPT’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 BPT’s activities.

You can find out more about our membership here.

Simply complete the Membership Application Form and email it to membership@bptrust.org.uk. If you can pay by standing order this greatly cuts down our administration costs, and if you are able to give BPT a donation, please add it to your subscription.

If you want to give a one time donation without subscribing to our membership, you can fill in our Donation Form and email it to fundraising@bptrust.org.uk
