IHC Fundraising Update – Calf & Rural Scheme
You may have heard recently in the news that IHC have made the call to suspend its transfer and sales of livestock as part of its Calf and Rural Scheme for the first time in 33 years. This is because of the risk of spreading Mycoplasma bovis.
The rural community is rallying around IHC’s efforts to find alternative ways to raise a $1 million funding target without increasing the risk of spreading Mycoplasma bovis. However, the support of the Smile Club has become all the more essential in helping ensure IHC can continue to support people with intellectual disabilities in communities throughout New Zealand.
