Founded in 1991, The Forward Trust \u201cempowers people to break the cycles of addiction or crime to move forward with their lives\u201d. The organisation focuses on creating lasting change and better lives with jobs, family, friends, and a sense of community.<\/p>\n
The Forward Trust runs an annual quiz night with 130 guests at the Tabernacle in London. Having been active for several years now, the event is a popular date within the charity\u2019s fundraising calendar and continues to rise in popularity each year.<\/p>\n
Lots of planning went into the quiz night, with tablets from Givergy being used to support this mobile-focused event. Whilst guests could use their own devices to connect with the auction, having tablets available ensured that everyone could participate in the fundraising efforts that night. Oursilent auction and pledge features were used to achieve this event and received brilliant feedback.<\/p>\n
Having skipped the event for a few years due to pandemic, The Forward Trust was thrilled to exceed their \u00a315,000 target by an additional \u00a31,400. Whilst online fundraising had continued, it was an apprehensive time waiting to see how in-person events would be received, but thankfully, due to our fundraising services and dedicated guests, the event was a fantastic success.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Top Tip: <\/strong>\u201cAlways focus on what the potential audience is going to want and expect from an event\u201d, says Laura Ganpot, an event manager at The Forward Trust.
\nThe Forward Trust are fortunate to have had the experience of running several events, all of which they can learn from. Givergy ensures that even if you don\u2019t have this legacy information, we can help you find the best solution for raising funds.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":76618,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-78377","case-studies","type-case-studies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEmpowering
