Roy McLeod Award Winner

We are delighted to share that the BA has been awarded the Roy McLeod Award (£5,000) by the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers, presented to our President Rae Gillott at the WCoB Annual Banquet at Mansion House on Tuesday 23 September 2025.

This recognition is really a tribute to all our amazing volunteers. For over 50 years, BA members which include basketmakers, chairseaters, and allied crafts, have given their time and energy to keep the Association thriving.

Behind the scenes, volunteers keep the wheels turning across so many areas:
Board | Editorial & Design | Events | Finance | Archive | Trade Liaison | Book Sales | Insurance | Bursaries | Website & Social Media

We are incredibly lucky – and grateful – for everything our community does.

But we always need more helping hands! If you’d like to get involved and support the BA’s future, we’d love to hear from you.

Contact Fiona or Anna via [email protected] to find out how you can get involved.
