---IMPORTANT MEMBER NOTICE---

Royal Mail Carers Society – Ilford & Romford

Membership Payment Changes – 2026

Payroll subscription deductions are ending across many UK organisations for security and regulatory reasons. This is a nationwide change, not a local management decision.

To keep our society active, we are moving to a modern, secure direct debit system using GoCardless.com, a trusted FCA‑regulated provider.

What You Will Need To Do.....

Complete ONE new direct debit sign‑up

Use of an email (Will be mandatory for all members moving forward)

Once completed, payments will continue automatically—just like payroll did.

Why This Change Helps Us All

Safer handling of bank details

Automatic weekly or monthly payments

Easy sign‑up via QR code or link

Members can update their own details anytime

Clear payment tracking

Opening Up to New Members

Following the proposal at this year’s AGM, we’re pleased to confirm that membership is now open to all East London Delivery Office staff.

This change is long overdue. Since joining the Carers Committee, it’s become clear that we need to grow our membership — especially with over 400 lucky numbers still available. We feel expanding to East London is the natural next step.

What this means...

All East London DO's will now be fully included in our activities and communications.

We plan to extend our monthly draw roadshows to East London offices so we can meet potential new members directly.

This expansion should help us increase membership quickly and strengthen the committee’s presence across the wider area.

Why now

Since at least 2012, when East London offices came under Romford’s footprint. The East London Community Care Club Folded and they may have been feeling overlooked or forgotten. This decision is our chance to put that right — to reconnect, rebuild, and bring everyone under the one inclusive membership.

We’re looking forward to welcoming our new/old colleagues and growing the community together.
