On the platinum level of membership, if you break it down per week, it works out to £6.92 - not bad really when you come to think of it.

Membership Fees

friendsfirst is a membership organisation. It's not free to join and we don't believe in trial periods. (Click here for our reasons why)  Members pay us good money because they know we offer a genuine, honest, professional, totally Christian, value for money service and that the personal service we offer is worth paying for.

Our fees are structured as follows:-

Our initial fee to cover writing your profile is £60. This is based on the information you provide us in your application form. However we also offer and enhanced profile based on an indepth telephone interview with us. This costs an additional £60. Your profile writing fee is a one-off cost, and will not be incurred by you again, for as long as your membership continues uninterrupted. You must then choose which annual level of membership you'd like. You can choose to receive other members' profiles monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly or 6-monthly (remembering that, whatever level you choose, your own profile will be circulated every month). The prices for each level are set out below.

If you would like to add a photograph to your profile you are welcome to do so for a small additional fee of £8 if you send us a digital picture and £10 if you send us a hard copy photograph.

Finding a soul mate generally doesn't happen quickly. As a result we have a number of long term membership options that offer very good value for money. If you are interested in a long term membership please contact us for a chat.

How to pay

You can pay for your friendsfirst membership in a number of ways. If you wish to join using our online form you will be asked to pay by our secure payment gateway by credit or debit card.

If you join by downloading our profile form and sending it to us through the post, you can include your payment either by cheque (made payable to friendsfirst) or by sending postal orders or by cash (though if you do this we strongly recommend you send it registered post as we cannot be responsible if it does not arrive safely.)

We believe we offer a lot more than most other organisations. Click here to read exactly what you get when you join friendsfirst.

We are not like free or 'cheap' internet dating sites where often so-called members have left years ago or never really joined in the first place. All our members are current and actively seeking new friends. They are all looking for new friends and, by joining friendsfirst, they have made a serious investment in themselves and their future. If you are also serious about looking for new friends, then we are the organisation for you.

We recognise people's lifestyles and income levels are different. That's why we offer a choice of 4 different membership levels - each one offering excellent value for money and the opportunity to meet many single Christians.

Don't forget, when you join friendsfirst, you are joining a membership organisation and we look forward to providing you with a personalised service so that you can find what you are looking and hoping for.
