BOARD GAMING
Are you and your family wild on Monopoly? Crazy about Cluedo? Bonkers on Bingo? There's a wealth of video call technology that allows you to host a virtual board game fundraiser. Simply ask your family to join you in donating to Blesma via Just Giving or Charity Checkout, and then get ready for an evening of feel-good family fun.

QUIZ NIGHT
If you are missing your weekly Quiz, why not join in with Blesma’s Saturday night quiz here? The top three players win cash prizes which will be better the more that we raise, so why not invite your friends to play along? Alternatively, host your own Quiz night! You can ask friends, family,or just those on your social media to donate to Blesma in order to play.
