  • I can’t make it to a live event - how can I catch up?

    Our members have busy lives. Not everyone can make it to our live online events at the scheduled time – sometimes grandparenting duties, social calls, appointments or other commitments get in the way. That’s why we have a growing library of on-demand content that you can watch, listen to and read at your leisure!

    You can become a member in just a couple of minutes. Simply:

    • Sign up for your one-month free trial of Premium membership (no card details required)
      • Explore and join our live online events
      • Expand your horizons with our growing library of talks, classes and bite-sized audio content – yours to watch and listen to on demand
      • Discover insightful guides, useful resources and inspiring member stories to read
    • Discover something new with The Joy Club!

Payment information

  • How much does it cost?

    Premium membership costs just £9.99 a month and you get a one-month free trial when you sign up – no card details required!

  • Do I have to provide my card details up front?

    No – we don’t do that!

  • Can I share my membership with a friend or partner?

    Your membership is just for you, so please don’t share your login details, links to live online events or promotional codes with anyone else. However, we would love you to recommend The Joy Club to anyone who you think might enjoy membership (so long as they have entered retirement, have Internet access and are based in the UK). If you share your unique referral code, then both you and your recommendee will earn a free month of Premium membership of The Joy Club, PLUS we’ll plant a tree when they become a member!

  • Are you going to spam me with emails?

    We’ll send you a few emails to help you get set up when you join. Our members enjoy our weekly emails where we share inspiration for new activities and exciting member updates BUT if you would like to opt out of emails then you can do so at any time.

  • What if I want to cancel?

    You are free to cancel your membership with The Joy Club at any time. We won’t ask for your card details up front, so if you cancel your membership during your free Premium trial then no payment will be taken. If you cancel your membership after providing card details then no further payments will be taken.

  • When will my payment be taken?

    As a Premium member, your £9.99 monthly membership payment will be taken on the same day each month. For example, if you sign up for your free Premium trial on 5th November, then your first membership payment will be taken on 5th December (if you’ve provided your card details). The next membership payment will be taken automatically on 5th January, and so on.
