Because parents and 16+ Urdd members need to access their membership numbers (and can do this on our online system, Y Porth), we are asking all schools/branches to encourage parents to register membership themselves.
Parents/guardians will need membership numbers for community or after school activities, as well as competing in various competitions. So, by encouraging parents to join directly they will have easy access to the information.
This will also reduce the administrative work for you and ensure that parents/guardians have access to their children’s membership numbers. You will still to be able access and monitor all membership details of your school / branch on Y Porth.
You can renew any membership you created/renewed last year via your branch. As you already have a Porth account, all you need to do is log in with your email address and password.
Once you’ve logged in, you will be asked to check and update “My Profile”, and then you’ll have access to “Renew Branch Memberships” from the menu. You can renew several members at once and pay in the usual way. You can also add new members via the Porth in the ‘Add new members’ tab.
If you don’t have an account on the Porth yet, e-mail aelodaeth@urdd.org with your full name and branch/school name. We will then send you an email with a unique link and code so that you can create your account.
Once you’ve created an account, you’ll be able to add members to your branch as well as view any individual memberships created by parents.
Once you’ve created an account, you can visit the Porth at any time to check or amend details.
Individual membership: £13.50*
Family membership (3 or more children): £30
*or £1 for those eligible
You are required to create an account within our online membership system, ‘Y Porth’, before joining the Urdd. ‘Y Porth’ will enable parents, schools, and clubs to create an account, process their membership with the Urdd and view their details easily.
‘Y Porth’ will be developed over the coming months to include all the Urdd’s activities, so that everything can be accessed in one central place, from membership to payment details, registration for local activities and competing in the Eisteddfod. Click here to create your account!

Every Branch Leader will receive an e-mail in early September with a special code to Y Porth. If the e-mail hasn’t reached them, please contact us: aelodaeth@urdd.org
As a member of the Urdd, you will be part of Wales’ largest youth organisation and will have access to our activities. Provision varies from area to area, but clubs, activities, special visits and free magazines are just some of the opportunities on offer:
Yes, you must be an Urdd member to take part in our activities. But our brand-new system, Y Porth, makes the membership process simpler than ever.
Your membership number and details can be found by logging into Y Porth. You will also receive an e-mail confirming the membership number once your membership has been processed.
Ask your school’s Urdd branch for your child’s membership number. Alternately, you can create an account within our new online system, Y Porth, and apply for access to your child’s membership numbers via the portal (the school must give permission to release this data).
We’ll post your membership badge as soon as possible, but it could take up to 4 weeks during our busiest times of the year.
Yes – children of all ages can become an Urdd member.vHowever, most of our activities are aimed at children and young people between 8 and 25 years of age.
