Your benefits begin immediately from the moment you join. We’ll also pop a membership card in the post to you shortly after you sign up, which you can use to enjoy 10% off in the Footstool Café & Bar.

Sinfonia Smith Square is a registered charity (Registered Charity No. 1092461). By taking out a membership with Sinfonia Smith Square, you are supporting the full core work of our charitable organisation, which includes our orchestra of emerging professional musicians and our artistic plans at Smith Square Hall.

Every membership has a ‘fee’ element which covers the cost of the benefits provided; this is not a donation and non-gift-aid-able. Every membership also has a voluntary ‘donation’ element, which supports the core work of Sinfonia Smith Square and is Gift-Aid-able.

The fee/donation elements will be split as follows:

FRIENDS MEMBERSHIPS

Sinfonia Smith Square Friend
£45 Annual Fee / £15 Annual Donation = Membership Total £60
Sinfonia Smith Square Supporting Friend
£70 Annual Fee / £80 Annual Donation = Membership Total £150
Sinfonia Smith Square Guiding Friend
£80 Annual Fee / £220 Annual Donation = Membership Total £300
Sinfonia Smith Square Leading Friend
£95 Annual Fee / £405 Annual Donation = Membership Total £500

PATRONS MEMBERSHIPS

£125 Annual Fee / £875 Annual Donation = Membership Total £1,000

£145 Annual Fee / £2,855 Annual Donation = Membership Total £3,000
Sinfonia Smith Square Beacon
£155 Annual Fee / £4,845 Annual Donation = Membership Total £5,000

Please note: we are obliged by HMRC to make it clear that the donation component paid by Friend, Supporting Friend, Guiding Friend, Leading Friend, Patron, Champion, and Beacon supporters is voluntary and that it is possible to purchase any of these memberships without making this donation, at a cost of £45, £70, £80, £95, £125, £145, or £155 respectively. If you wish to do this please contact Jemma Crossley, Development Manager. We strongly encourage you to make the additional voluntary donation alongside your membership payment to support the work of Sinfonia Smith Square.

If you would like to pay by automatic rolling instalments (either monthly or annually) this will be done through Continuous Payment Authority using the membership page of our website above.

A Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) is a type of recurring payment, similar to a standing order or direct debit. Like direct debits and standing orders, a CPA is taken only with the authorisation from you, the customer. However, instead of taking payment from bank account details (as is the case with direct debits and standing orders), CPAs take payment from credit or debit card details.

So, under this new system, if you choose to have an automatically renewing Sinfonia Smith Square membership, your membership will renew automatically as requested when it is due to expire. The payment for the renewal will be taken from a card stored on your Customer Record within our database, rather than from us contacting your bank to take the payment.

We launched our new Sinfonia Smith Square Membership Scheme in June 2024, uniting the membership communities of St John’s Smith Square and Southbank Sinfonia.

If you previously held a membership under either of the old schemes and would like to continue as a member, you will need to take out a new membership under the updated scheme.

Please note that any existing direct debits or standing orders linked to your old membership will no longer count towards the new membership scheme. If you choose to keep these payments in place, they will be received as general donations, which we are always grateful for.

To continue your membership, please set up payment through our new recurring payment method (a Continuous Payment Authority) by selecting your preferred membership level above and ticking “Automatically Renew” during checkout.

If you have any questions about completing your membership switch over, please contact Jemma, Development Manager, at jemma@sinfoniasmithsquare.org.uk
