Fórsa Youth are holding their annual charity table quiz next Thursday, 23rd November, in Nerney’s Court, Dublin 1.

The cost for a table of four is €100. A pop-up bar will be available, finger food and refreshments will be provided. A raffle with some great prizes will also be held on the night. Registration opens from 6pm, with the quiz starting at 7pm. You can book a table here.

This year’s quiz is in aid of Trucks for Peace, a global fundraising initiative that aims to help build a stable and lasting peace in Colombia. Fórsa is affiliated with Justice for Colombia, an organisation set up in response to the high levels of violence against trade unionists, human rights defenders and community activists in Colombia. The project faces huge challenges in remote areas of Colombia where inequality is an extremely serious and complex problem.

After the 2016 peace agreement in Columbia former FARC guerrillas established co-operatives as part of the transition. The co-ops produce a range of products, including clothing, coffee and beer. However, in remote parts of Columbia they face major challenges getting their products to markets.

Infrastructure is poor and transport is essential. This fundraiser aims to enable local worker cooperative 'De Mano en Mano' to commercialise and sell their products through access to decent transport in the form of a truck.

Funds raised by the table quiz will be used to support Trucks for Peace in their mission to provide long-term sustainable livelihoods for those involved in the peace process in Columbia.

All are welcome to join the quiz and if your branch is not able to make it, donations are also encouraged.
