Membership Management for Cultural Organisations in the UK

Managing memberships shouldn't be this hard..

For many cultural organisations such as museums, galleries, theatres, libraries and member-led clubs, keeping track of members, renewals, and events can quickly become a logistical tangle. Spreadsheets grow unwieldy, payments are recorded in different systems, and communication often depends on outdated mailing lists. The result is hours of lost admin time, frustrated members, and missed opportunities for engagement and revenue.

Modern membership management software offers a way out. The best systems bring everything together: membership records, event bookings and payments, all in one central platform. For UK-based organisations that value efficiency, transparency and member experience, Join It stands out as the most user-friendly and reliable choice.

Why Join It is the Membership Management Software UK Organisations Trust

Join It is an all-in-one membership and event management software platform designed to simplify every stage of running a membership programme. 

Whether you are managing hundreds of patrons or a small community of supporters, Join It removes the manual workload and provides clarity across your operations.

Here's what makes it different:

1. Centralised member database

Instead of juggling spreadsheets or separate tools, Join It gives you a single, searchable member record that updates automatically. Every detail, from payment history to event attendance, is stored securely in one place. Staff can quickly segment members, view renewals or send reminders without switching systems.

2. Seamless payments and renewals

Join It's membership software management tools integrate directly with Stripe and other payment processors. That means no more chasing invoices or manually reconciling transactions. 

Automated renewals keep members active, while clear reporting ensures finance teams always have accurate figures at their fingertips.

3. Simple, integrated event management

Whether you are hosting exhibition openings, talks or community workshops, Join It's membership and event management software makes coordination effortless. Through Join It's seamless partnership and API integration with Eventbrite, every registration, ticket sale and attendee record syncs automatically with your member database.

There is no need to export or manually update lists; all event activity is tracked in real time within Join It. This unified system allows your team to see who attends, engage members more effectively and measure event success with complete accuracy.

4. Real-time reporting and insights

Join It's analytics give cultural organisations the insight they need to make informed decisions. From new sign-ups to member retention and event attendance, reports update in real time. For growing institutions, these insights are invaluable when reporting to boards or funders.

How Join It supports associations, clubs and nonprofits

Cultural and community organisations often share the same challenges as associations and clubs: limited staff, tight budgets and a high reliance on member engagement. Join It is designed to help these teams achieve more with less.

As an association membership management software, Join It enables professional groups or networks to manage tiers, benefits and renewals without complex configuration. Its automation tools reduce admin by up to 305 hours a year, freeing teams to focus on member value rather than paperwork.

For societies, running clubs or arts collectives, Join It functions as an intuitive club membership management software solution. It handles memberships, event ticketing and communication all in one. Even small clubs can provide a polished digital experience that feels professional and seamless.

Nonprofits benefit equally. As a membership management software that nonprofit teams can rely on, Join It simplifies donor and supporter management. With built-in payment integrations and communication tools, it keeps fundraising and membership activity aligned, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

Case example: How NewFilmmakers Los Angeles builds a thriving independent film community with Join It

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) is a nonprofit organisation that champions diverse voices in film through festivals, grants and career development programmes.

Through Join It's Eventbrite integration, NFMLA automatically records attendance at screenings and virtual events, saving hours of manual work each week. Membership has remained strong, supporting the organisation's mission to uplift independent storytellers and sustain its growing creative community.
