Fundraising

At The Fix It Group 23, we are committed to supporting our community not only through our free-of-charge services but also by contributing to other impactful charities. Each year, we raise funds through donations at our events. After covering the operational costs required to sustain our own charitable work, the remaining proceeds are donated to three deserving charities chosen by our members.
