It's hard to imagine that way back in 1905 there was a thriving and rapidly growing electrical industry. Many people
connected to the industry fell upon difficult times with poverty common, medicine in many cases not an exact science, no antibiotics and no National Health Service. So a group of electrical industry people got together and formed the EEIBA.
Next year, the charity will be 100 years old. With many National and local Centenary fundraising events planned, the EEIBA will introduce an awareness and publicity campaign at an unprecedented level.
The Association is already receiving individual offers of help from those fundraisers who enjoy doing something a bit different. Like the man who went on a sponsored slim, or the cyclist who raised funds pedalling from Lands End to John O'Groats, and the team that climbed Mont Blanc.
The EEIBA will again have places available in the London Marathon and there are also those fundraisers who do not wish to punish themselves over 26 miles who are planning short family and works fun runs.
So if you would like to become part of the EEIBA's Centenary celebrations – and make a personal effort however large or small – contact Kim on 020 8673 9823
