PBW Membership opens in January 2027.
Membership is open to adults aged 18 and over, with a free tier and a paid tier. We will share the full details in our newsletter on 21 December 2026.
Two ways to be a member.
Both tiers bring you members' news, resources and events. The paid tier also lets you list your business in the members' directory.

How membership will work.
Only what we need
Signing up asks only for the details we need to run your membership, and a declaration that you are 18 or over. We will never ask for identity documents.
Secure payments
Paid membership is a recurring payment through Stripe. Your card details are never stored on our website, and you manage them on Stripe's own secure pages.
Your account, your choice
You can update your details, download your data or close your account yourself, whenever you like.
Separate from the newsletter
Joining PBW Membership and subscribing to our newsletter are separate choices. We only add you to the newsletter if you ask us to.
The business directory.
A place for members to find and buy from one another's businesses.
- Only signed-in members can see the directory, and it is never shown to search engines.
- Paid members submit a listing, and a PBW reviewer approves it before it appears.
- Listings show business details only: never a personal address or phone number.
- You buy directly from the business. No payments pass through our website.
- Every listing has a link to report it, and we can remove a listing straight away.

Who can see my details?
Members' pages are private and kept out of search engines, and access to member records is limited to the people at PBW who need it. If you list a business, other members see your business details only.
Will joining sign me up to the newsletter?
No. They are separate choices. We send essential membership emails, such as receipts and renewal reminders, on their own, and only send the newsletter if you subscribe to it.
