#Mission50
We are aiming to raise £50,000 to secure IBCs future with a series of events and fundraising campaigns around the number 50, to celebrate our 50 years at City Road Basin and to look ahead to the next 50 (minimum!)
Our intention is to join forces with local people, schools, youth groups and businesses: to build up a community to support us, so we can support them in the future: to encourage people to try out watersports for health and wellbeing; and last but by no means least……………to have FUN!!
We need ambassadors!!
