EBUKI Membership

The cornerstone of the organisation

We’re a growing organisation with a lively and engaged membership.

Membership is the first step to getting involved with EBUKI.

As much as EBUKI is about earth building, it’s about people. From Trustees to Volunteers, all those who have found their unique EBUKI niche are members of the organisation, providing vital core funding for the charitable activities to continue.

How You’ll Benefit

Exclusive Events

Our members-only monthly informal online ‘Talking Shop’ offers a chance to connect to talk about all things earth building!

Events

Opportunities

We give our members first notice when we can offer training opportunities, such as Erasmus+ Mobilities or King’s Foundation apprenticeships.

Contribution

You can share your work in our online communities, or have chance to be a speaker at one of our events.

Feel the warm fuzzies for contributing much-needed reliable funding for the charity’s ongoing important work!

Inspiration

Whether for building your own home, adding to your existing earth building practices, new research ideas or an event to promote earth building, getting involved in EBUKI membership is sure to inspire you!

Influence

If you’re working in the construction industry and unhappy with the petro-chemical industry materials and methods you are currently obliged to use, you can find support in joining our membership for using your voice to influence change.

Discovery

Be first to find out what’s happening and what’s new, including early-bird tickets for our events.

Recognition

For Company members, your strong commitment to earth building and sustainability will be shown on our Key Supporters page, your logo and portfolio of services or products can be showcased.

Your organisation will be informed of opportunities for collaboration and publicity through our projects and events.

Encouragement

The membership is a supportive and encouraging community.

A group of EBUKI members formed a group named Uplift to build regular connection to encourage and celebrate with each other.

Connection

Our Facebook page is a place to get discussion going. A members-only Facebook group is on its way.
