Membership

ANYONE OVER 16 is welcome to join the SPR – students, researchers in all disciplines, and members of the public from all walks of life.

Membership does not imply acceptance of any particular opinion concerning the nature or reality of the phenomena examined. The SPR holds no corporate view, and members hold a range of perspectives.

Discounts There are discounts for students (full-time), senior citizens and anyone receiving state benefits, and for members of the Parapsychological Association. ‘Donor’ members help support the SPR by paying a valuable charitable donation in addition to the annual fee.   Joint membership is available for an extra £10, sharing a single set of publications.
