London Hackspace is its members - we're a non-profit organisation and the majority of our income comes from membership subscriptions. Our members are responsible for keeping the space running.
What You Get
Apart from the warm fuzzy feeling that you're supporting London's hackerspace, being a member also gains you certain other benefits:
- 24/7 access to the space through our door entry system.
- Some personal storage at the Hackspace.
- Discounted rates on selected events and workshops.
How Much?
We ask that you pay what you think the space is worth to you. In order for the space to be financially healthy, each member needs to pay an average of £20/month.
Running an organisation like this in London isn't cheap (our monthly budget is £11,000, and most of that is rent!), but we don't want to set a fixed cost which some people can't afford.
If you really can't afford £20, the minimum is £5/month.
Who Can Join?
Membership is open to anyone over the age of 16. Under-16s aren't allowed to join as members but can attend the space with an adult.
How to Join
To become a member of the London Hackspace, please complete the sign-up form.
You'll be given instructions how to set up a standing order from your bank. The sign-up process will provide you with all the information you'll need. It will take a couple of days for your payment to be recognised by our system.
