Three tiers, one community. Pick the level that matches how much you want to bring — start free and upgrade any time. Every tier carries a vote on the forum and a stake in the Collecting Project.
Core access for anyone who wants to join the community.
For members who want more value from every visit.
The full experience — maximum value and dedicated help.
Start free and upgrade any time — you only pay for the value you want. Concessions are available and no one is turned away for lack of funds.
Every tier is designed to keep two sides in equilibrium: the rewards you receive and the contribution you make. The slider shows where your tier sits on the spectrum.
For every friend who joins and stays active for 30 days, we'll send you an Amazon Mystery Box worth £15–£30 — chosen for you and delivered straight to your door.
Invite friends to join at any tier using your personal referral link.
Your referral counts once your friend has been an active member for 30 days.
We send you an Amazon Mystery Box worth £15–£30, fulfilled and delivered by Amazon.
One Amazon Mystery Box per successful referral. Rewards are subject to a monthly reward-pool cap and a 30-day active-membership requirement, and run while our pilot programme lasts.

Membership fees alone won't get us to £1.5M. The initial round is anchored by two additional channels:
UK businesses funding the Collecting Project in exchange for visibility, ESG reporting & partnership rights.

We'll get in touch, answer your questions and set up your contribution and forum access.
Vote, attend events, request maintenance, or contribute research — your voice counts from day one.
Your contribution joins the Collecting Project, funding homes, retrofits and shared knowledge.
No. Every tier — Basic, Standard and Premium — is open to anyone, anywhere, who believes in the mission and wants a vote on the forum. You can start free on Basic and upgrade whenever you like.
Share your personal referral link with a friend. Once they join and stay an active member for 30 days, we send you an Amazon Mystery Box worth £15–£30, delivered by Amazon — one box per successful referral. Rewards run while our pilot lasts and are subject to a monthly reward-pool cap.
Every contribution flows into the Collecting Project — our transparent community investment fund. Members vote on priorities, and accounts are published in full. It pays for retrofits, shared green spaces, and the open research we share with the forum.
Yes, at any time. Membership is a commitment to the community, not a contract that traps you. You can pause, change tier or step away whenever you need to.
No one is turned away for lack of funds. We offer concessions and pay-what-you-can arrangements — get in touch and we'll find something that works.
One member, one vote. Major decisions — budgets, bylaws, board elections — are made at the General Assembly, with options to vote in person or remotely so distance is never a barrier.
Add your voice and your contribution to a community building fairer, healthier housing — locally and globally.
