Join the RSL

The RSL offers the benefits and joys of a literary festival and book club, rolled into one, all year round: a membership for all seasons. 

As a Member of the RSL, you will receive: 

  • Free places at our events, over 20 each year (currently online)

  • Discounted guest tickets to our events

  • Our monthly e-newsletter

  • A place at RSL Members’ Book Groups

  • Free subscriptions to our annual RSL Review magazine and quarterly Our Mutual Friend newspaper.

If you would like to donate at a higher level and receive additional benefits, you can join as a member of our Literature Matters Supporters' Circle, as a Patron, or as a member of the 1820 Club. 

 

When you consider the wealth of national and international culture it delivers, RSL membership isn't just a bargain, it's worth the world.

Name and Address
The RSL is a charity, and with Gift Aid you can support us even further. If you are a UK taxpayer, for every £1 you give, we can claim 25p in addition from HM Revenue and Customs at no extra cost to you. All we need is your consent, which you can give by selecting ‘Yes’ below.

I would like the Royal Society of Literature to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the last 4 years. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference. I will inform The Royal Society of Literature if I wish to amend or cancel this claim, or if I change my name or address.
  

By selecting 'Yes' above you are confirming that you are a UK taxpayer and the amount of income and/or capital gains tax you pay is at least as much as we will reclaim on your donations in this tax year.

About Gift Aid

Gift Aid increases the value of donations to charities by allowing them to reclaim basic rate tax on your gift. We would like to reclaim gift aid on your behalf. We can only reclaim Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer. Please confirm that you are a eligible for gift aid above. More about Gift Aid.
