Become an ADF Member or Associate

In April 2012 the board of ADF agreed to a new membership and associateship structure.

There is a new application form which you can download and return to the ADF by post or by hand enclosing a cheque for the appropriate fee.

Or you can fill in the web form below and post us the appropriate fee. Either way, send all membership correspondence to:

109-113 Royal Avenue
Belfast
BT1 1FF

Call:  028 9023 9450
Email:  info@adf.ie

The ADF has level access, a Loop system and we arrange BSL on request for events. We prefer email communications for access, cost, speed and the environment.

You can download the application form by clicking the following link. When the dialogue box opens opt to ‘save’ the file to your download folder. Alternative formats available on request.

Online Application Form for
Membership Or Associateship Status

Membership:
Membership is open to any disabled person aged over 18 who lives in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland and who meets the criteria below.

Membership is free and runs for three years.  Joining Gift donations from members are welcome but are entirely optional.

Associateship:
If you are NOT disabled or if you represent an organisation, you may show your support for our work by becoming an ADF Associate for a small, annual fee.

Income from membership goes directly back into projects that benefit disabled artists and audiences and help us to lever more project funds. Membership applications are reviewed by the Board every couple of months – we’ll get back to you to let you know when your membership starts. Meantime, we’ll email you info on events.

Fees are renewable 1st April, or the April after next if you join between October and March.
