Joint action to support IBC work

By Anne Babb | General Secretary

During the past months we have especially developped networking approach in order to mobilise support to IBC activities. You see two examples of such collaboration and we hope that this inspires you to stay connected with us too!

Forum for Christian Leaders 

Together with the Blue Cross Switzerland and the local Blue Cross Branch of the and canton of Basel, IBC presented its work during a two-day forum at March 9 and 10 in Fribourg, Switzerland. 

Designed as a meeting and learning event for Christian leaders IBC General Secretary Anne and Fundraiser Anja could connect with like-minded stakeholders. They enjoyed truly inspiring conversations, shared ideas and common viewpoints with representatives from private businesses as well as the non-profit scene. What united all participants was the will to network, connect and brainstorm together in order to do good. 

We are happy to have had the chance to participate in this event and thank the Blue Cross in Switzerland for their pleasant cooperation and the common booth at the event. We have been able to show to a mainly Swiss audience that the Blue Cross is a worldwide movement, connecting local branches with a national and international profile 

 

Fundraising: Soup for Chad 

One example of the potential of the network model has been set this February. Blue Cross Switzerland has successfully cooperated with the Secretariat. The target was to support one of IBC´s projects abroad by attracting individual donations at events. For this purpose the IBC team designed specific fundraising material for the Blue Cross Switzerland volunteer group. The result of the first event was amazing: At the annual “Suppentag” (soup day) organized by the team of Blue Cross Winterthur, the volunteer group collected a considerable amount of donations by selling home-made soup to attendees. The collected amount will benefit youth participating IBC´s Life Skills Programme in Chad. Thank you Blue Cross Switzerland and thank you to all the volunteers from Blue Cross Winterthur for your initiative!

 

We need your support, donor contacts and ideas to keep up this global work. Thank you for your continues support!
