English Bridge Education & Development is a relatively new charity. We want more people of all ages to enjoy playing bridge, and specifically duplicate bridge. Our efforts will go into encouraging more people to take up bridge, as well as building the infrastructure which will make that aim a reality.

All donations we receive will go towards this - making sure this fascinating and absorbing game has a strong future.

Donate to support our wide ranging work

We are very grateful for all donations made towards supporting the wide range of activities in which are engaged. This work includes:
helping to encourage and enable the development of youth bridge, supporting school bridge clubs, and organising bridge events for young people;
putting in place more and better teachers, and providing those teachers with a range of materials to provide a smooth path from novice to player;
organising tournament director training for clubs; and more...

We need your help to promote bridge in our communities: to encourage young and old to take up the game, with important benefits for cognitive skills and social inclusion. Funding for our education programmes depends upon donations from people just like you.
