Your help is needed to ensure we can continue the work we are doing. You can also make a donation, large or small, at any time or you may consider leaving money in your will to BABS which will then aid us in our aim.

BABS does receives funds from the government through the Gift Aid programme so please do ensure you sign a Gift Aid form so that we can claim these additional funds relating to your BABS annual subscription. 

BABS has been seriously affected with lower income and membership since the pandemic and, even though BABS has never really used fundraising to ensure its financial stability, we must look at new ways of funding to ensure the survival of our organisation for future generations of barbershoppers.

As 2024 is our 50th anniversary, we felt this was the perfect opportunity to launch our new fundraising campaign, 'BABS 50 For The 50'.

The BABS 50 For The 50 Campaign aims to raise £50,000 by inviting people to donate just £50. This money would then go towards our objectives for 2024 and beyond. The campaign will also run in parallel with other activities throughout 2024.

More information will be coming over the upcoming months and there will be plenty of opportunity to get involved throughout the campaign.

If would like to give more we would love to speak to you directly about major gift opportunities and special recognition. Please contact our team at [email protected].
