Stewarts Foundation is delighted to launch our new annual fundraising campaign, Cents-Ability!

We are asking individuals, schools, clubs, and corporate groups to host an event or take on a challenge to showcase your ability this December.

Stewarts Care’s mission is to empower and support individuals with different abilities to have an enriched life experience based on their own decisions and life choices. We are passionate about recognising and celebrating different abilities and want you to join us in this mission!.

What can you do to support Stewarts Care?

Cents-Ability is an exciting initiative that encourages people of all ages and abilities to share their skills and passions with others or take on a challenge to test their ability.

Are you an artist, athlete, baker, craft-maker, or performer? Maybe you have a secret talent or are part of a club that can make a difference. Schools and corporate groups can celebrate students and employee skills to make an impact!

Below are some ideas on how showcasing your ability can make CENTS and support services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and autism.

Individuals

Artists: Set up an online raffle to WIN one of your pieces

Athletes: Take on a new fitness challenge that tests your abilities such as Dip a Day in December Sea swim or a Step into Christmas mission to complete 10k steps a day in December.

Bakers & Craft-makers: Sell your festive creations at Christmas Fairs or online through your personal social media platforms and donate a % of sales to Stewarts Foundation.

Performers: Share your talent with new audiences through live busking or an online performance using a donate now payment link.

Skill Sharing: Organise an in person or online tutorial to share your knowledge or top tips i.e. Christmas Party Makeup Masterclass, ‘Spring gardens are made in winter’ –  Gardening Workshop or Festive Cookery Class
