Supporters of Action on Disability faced a demanding test of their knowledge on June 11th when AoD held a Quiz Evening to raise money for our Covid-19 Appeal Fund. Fifty-seven people participated in 14 teams and the prizes included a bottle of port worth £140. More than £3,600 was raised and we would like to thank everyone who generously made donations. Congratulations to the team who won the quiz.
We are still seeking donations in order to reach our £5,000 target. The money is urgently needed to provide PPE and extra staff to help keep safe the young disabled people who will be taking part in our youth summer project. Any money you can give will make a real difference. If you wish to kindly donate, please click the button below.
The money raised by this quiz will fund AoD’s essential services during the summer. We need to raise a minimum of £5,000 to cover the additional costs created by the coronavirus. Our essential services include short breaks and holiday activity weeks for disabled children and young people and an advice and information service for disabled people using telephone and video calls.
