Community Events

Why not try our new quiz? Our quiz has three rounds: a general round, a celebrity round, and a literary round. Each round has 10 questions and the whole quiz should take about half an hour. If your friends enjoy a quiz, or if your local pub holds a quiz night - why not ask if they will organise a quiz in aid of I CAN? You can ask every who joins in to make a donation to I CAN before you begin.

Three easy steps for successful fundraising

1) Make a simple fundraising plan which breaks down your target into smaller goals.

2) Recruit your friends and family as ‘fundraising assistants’ to help you spread the word and find sponsors on your behalf. Think about all the different groups of people you come into contact with and how they might be able to help e.g. current and previous colleagues, business contacts, friends, neighbours, social clubs, gym, local schools and community groups.

3) Think of an event that will appeal to people you know. Use your talents and everyday skills - if you are good at something, use it to raise funds: make or bake something to sell or have a dinner or drinks party. Fundraising will be easier if everyone, including you, is having fun!
