Membership

To fund the space we need members who can pay a monthly fee to help pay for rent and services.

At the moment we rent the ACTA space at Louwesweg 1.

Membership benefits

• Becoming a part of our diverse and knowledgeable community
• Access to the ACTA space, which is 24/7 - see Keys
• Storage space for members at the ACTA space
• Access to the machines/tools available in the space
• Ability to hold workshops and support for that
• Helping support our community to pay for and run the space

Membership Pricing Guidelines

• Please note, the space is funded solely from these membership fees.
• The following represents the current guidelines.
  • These could change depending on our funding situation, but the hope is that this model will be inclusive to people of all incomes/backgrounds.

Tech Inc propose to operate a 'pay what you can' scheme. There will be a suggested recommended amount which we hope all members can meet. The recommended amount will be set at a level that ensures we cover our costs.

• If you intend to only use the space once in a while, if at all, then please feel free to pay a representative amount which is lower than the recommended amount
• The more you use the space, the more we would expect you to pay to help cover the running costs.

Pricing Guideline:

• Minimum amount to become a member should be 5 EUR per month
• Recommended amount is currently 20 EUR month
• if you cannot afford to pay anything but would still like to be a member of the community, please approach the board.
