EBED needs support from people like you to continue to work towards our aims and objectives. There are a number of ways you can help, for more information on any of them, please click on the links below.

Fundraising

Why not arrange a charity event and donated the proceeds to EBED? We can supply you with everything you need, including leaflets and information about the charity for people coming to your event. Please contact us and let us know about what you are planning, and we will do all we can to help.

EBED's donation page has a facility for online donation.

If you are involved in the running of a Bridge Club, there are many ways you can help to support us through bridge sessions, perhaps supporting the future of bridge by donating the table money from a special session to EBED. EBU-affiliated clubs can maximise their donation by choosing one session per year to be exempt from UMS charges for a charity event. You could combine this with a cake, produce or second-hand book sale, or any other way to raise money - be imaginative and please do let us know about your plans so we can help you with your much-appreciated fundraising efforts.

Become a Trustee

We have an excellent team of Trustees who guide our work as a charity. Their experience ranges from Financial Management to IT to Education,and they use that experience to assist our team of staff in the office at Aylesbury.

We are always keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in becoming a Trustee of EBED, so please e-mail Ian Sidgwick if you are interested or would like to know more about what this role entails, or download our Trustee Role Profile, which will give you some more information about the kind of person we are looking for in a Trustee. It will also tell you more about the commitments required as part of the role.

Volunteering

We have many incredibly valuable volunteers across the country who give their time to help us to promote the game of bridge. Some of this is through helping with small projects. For more information see our volunteer page. If you would like to know more about bridge in schools visit our youth bridge pages.

We also have two Advisory Groups who help us with our decision-making in certain areas of our work. Our Youth Advisory Group contributes to our work to provide bridge for young people, and our Education Advisory Group offers their time to discuss matters related to teaching and learning bridge. The latter is also supported by our team of Teacher Educators. If you would be interested in joining one of our Advisory Groups, please contact us.
