Membership is managed through the global UPA organisation and once you join, you are affiliated to your country of residence, so you automatically become part of the UK Chapter. The UK Chapter does not receive membership fees from the global organisation so relies purely on sponsorship and event entry fees from non-members to fund activities and events.
