There are two types of Membership

If you are joining as an individual, you will be an Associate Member. If you are not joining as an individual (for example, you represent a group or agency) you will be an Affiliate Member. The key distinction between the two membership types is in respect of insurance coverage, which is described below. However, in both cases you will get all of the great benefits described above.

Associate

If you are an Associate, you will be covered by the Repair Cafe Wales insurance policy as described below. In exchange, you will need to:

  • Follow our policies, procedures and other guidance (including in respect of risk assessments and health and safety checks)
  • Pay an annual contribution to the costs of the insurance, as notified to you from time to time. An invoice will be raised for this payment

Affiliate

If you are an Affiliate, you will not be covered by the Repair Cafe Wales insurance policy. This means that you will have to arrange your own minimum insurance coverage (Public Liability at £5,000,000 and Employers Liability at £10,000,000) and confirm to us that you have done so. However, it also means that you do not need to follow all of the Repair Cafe Wales policies and procedures, although you still need to carry out risk assessments and health and safety checks. Further details are set out below.
