Hi all we are announcing today that tickets are available for our Fundraiser. The goal is to raise funds for the Disability Community in Otago, to help get our first community centre up and running. Tickets from : Eventfinda.co.nz
Date: is Thursday the 11th of March 7.30pm. The press realease is below.
Enabling Love & Friendship is delighted to announce our first fundraiser event for 2021 to be held on Thursday 11th March at 7:30pm. The event will take place in the Alexander McMillan Room on the first floor of Dunedin Community House (301 Moray Place). Enabling Love & Friendship is an organisation for people living with disabilities, run by people with disabilities.We are a non-profit organisation which was started in 2018 due to a need within the disability community to make it easier for people to socialise, in terms of friendships and relationships. We aim to provide a safe environment for individuals to meet new friends and form these new connections/relationships. Enabling Love & Friendship would like to open up an office/community space in 2021. In order to do this we need to fundraise significant annual costs. The majority of these funds will go towards the cost of the venue and it's various expenses: commercial rent, power, internet etc. The other part will go towards our online service to help cover the cost of the online profiles for some of our clients who find it hard to pay the yearly membership costs. Some of our clients are beneficiaries so any costs that we can reduce for them while still providing the same quality of service is one of our main objectives. The Enabling Love & Friendship fundraiser will be a chance for us to raffle off a range of donated items from local businesses. Tickets for the event will be available online from Event Finder. We are still encouraging local businesses to get involved by donating goods, services or funding. Please feel free to contact us for any other information needed.
