The International Guild of Nurses and Carers is not a registered charity at this moment in time. At some point we may progress along this route and we reserve that option. Having said this we do recognise that we really do need to extend our membership to some of the poorest nations in the world to nurses who are doing wonderful work and cannot possibly afford to pay the level of membership fees appropriate to the more prosperous nations.

With this in mind we have found that some very kind members have included a small donation over and above their membership fee to help fund membership for nurses in our worlds poorer nations. All monies received in this fashion are ring fenced and properly accounted for for that purpose. So in the event that any member knows of any worthy nurse in a less prosperous nation who would wish to become a member of the guild but cannot afford to do so then do let us know via our web site contact page in which circumstance we will do all that we can do to help within our very limited budget.
