  5. Support the record

    BellBoard has become central to ringing life – for searching, recording and following performances across the world. It remains completely free to use, and the basic functionality of viewing, searching and submitting performances will always remain free. If you value BellBoard and use it regularly, we hope you might consider supporting its long-term stewardship.

    Keeping a reliable, long-term, searchable record is not cost-free. It depends on infrastructure, careful stewardship, and skilled work behind the scenes – from maintaining the system to correcting data and ensuring the record remains accurate and complete.

    BellBoard is built by ringers, for ringers, and relies on their generosity. Regular donations help sustain and improve BellBoard and the wider digital infrastructure supporting the ringing community.
