These pages provide links and details of how you can help the Foundation.
There are loads of ways in which you can help - and you absolutely do not need to know much (or even anything) about fencing.
We've broken some key areas down in the pages within this section of the site - but if you have any questions or ideas of your own then please let us know.
Much as we would like it to be free, fencing still needs equipment, facilities and coaches - all of which cost money.
We know times are hard, but there are still ways that you can help us raise money that we can turn into kit, courses, training and events to promote opportunities for fencing.
The pages here will give you some ideas for helping us out either directly, or even just by doing what you already do on-line every day!
Okay - so its not actually "Googling" - but simply by switching your web search pages to the Foundation Easysearch page, you can raise money for the charity just by surfing the web.
I've tried this for out and it works pretty well - certainly there is virtually no difference in the results - which is not surprising given that the search engine is actually a charity fundraising front page for Yahoo, Windows Live and Ask.com
Try it out and you'll be helping us out with every single web search you do - now what could be easier?

Fencing can always use more helpers - and absolutely no previous knowledge is required (none of the Foundation Council members are fencers after all...)
If you want to be a coach, referee, learn how to run competitions or fix weapons we can help arrange that.
Or if you want to help out at a competition or other event by laying pistes, keeping an eye on the fencers or manning a stall - this is the place to find out more.
We also need folks to help us out running the Foundation itself - anyone can join and you can stand for Council membership, help us on the web-site or act as a club liaison for us - the possibilities are literally endless and only limited by your available time and interests.
Drop us a note - we'd love to talk to anyone who has a bit of time and wants to help out in any way.
We said everyone can help - and you can, even if its just publicising the Foundation by spreading the word.
This section will also hold other suggestions as to how you can help th efoundation and the Fencers we seek to help.
