The English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards (EPSB), the national governing body for snooker and billiards in England, has announced The Brain Tumour Charity as its first-ever official charity partner.
The partnership will cover at least the period of the 2026/27 season and will see the EPSB provide support to The Brain Tumour Charity, which is committed to providing high quality and trustworthy health and care information to support anyone affected by a brain tumour.
The EPSB plans to support the charity through the staging of an all-new annual charity tournament to be held in 2027, as well as further ongoing initiatives to be announced in due course. There will also be signage placed at tournament venues to make it as easy as possible for people to make donations and contribute to the total amount raised during the season.

The Brain Tumour Charity has been selected in memory of former England international player Graham Beardmore, who sadly passed away last July after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Last November, his wife Aby took part in the first-ever EPSB Women’s Open Day held at the Landywood Snooker Club in memory of Graham.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the UK’s largest dedicated funder of research into primary brain tumours. It also offers support and information to anyone affected by a diagnosis and campaigns for faster, better diagnosis so that everyone can have the best quality of life beyond treatment.
