(In the very unlikely event of disbandment of the HCA within 2 years from official launch date of 1st June 2006 all fees will be refunded in full unequivocally)
The HCA does not seek to profit financially from its existence.
It exists solely to promote the humanist cause and enhance the profile of each secular, humanist Celebrant associated with the HCA.
Fees enable each Associate of The HCA to place a profile about themselves with or without a photograph, personal experience, outline testimonials, trainee fee required, and full contact details on the HCA Webpage, and where appropriate, on associated web sites operated by the HCA.
Fees are payable annually during the 1st week of January regardless of joining date: this simplifies the fee system and saves the HCA from sending out reminders at different periods of each year.
HCA member details are removed from HCA website and other publicity material if annual fee is unpaid by end of 2nd week of February. (Not applicable, of course, to Lifetime Associate Members)
Payments to HCA are used strictly for promotion of itself and each Associate. Such promotion incurs expenses, - postage, maintenance of web site and associated web sites, newsletter to interested companies, & information sent about the HCA to public enquirers.
The HCA sends an annual promotional newsletter to funeral directors in North of England, North & West Wales.
(National promotion of this newsletter and associated websites is underway with the aim to include funeral directors and other interested companies in all regions)
The HCA website & its associated sites are publicised as widely as possible & will be linked to similar sites. It shall be available through all major Internet search engines.
