Do your staff want to get involved with fundraising for their local charity? If so, we would love your support and will help you every step of the way.
If they are organising an event, don’t forget you could help them with Match Giving which will incentivise them event more and show them you’re backing their efforts.
Here are a few unique, funny and interesting ways you and your colleagues could help raise money for Campden Home Nursing:
- Staff yoga session – take over a meeting room for a lunchtime yoga session. Ask a staff member to lead it, see if a local fitness instructor can come in to host or even put on a YouTube video. Ask everyone who joins to make a charitable donation.
- Office Olympics – pit departments head to head at an office Olympics. Create a schedule of events (paperclip linking challenge, office obstacle course, biscuit dunking challenge, bin basketball, desk chair race), sign up your athletes and give prizes for gold, silver and bronze. Ask all competitors to make a charitable donation to take part.Packed lunch week – see if your office can commit to a week of home-made meals instead of buying food at lunch. Donate the money saved to charity.
- Bacon butties – bring in breakfast for your office by making bacon butties (or a vegetarian alternative) and giving the profits to charity
- Step challenge – compete with your colleagues by seeing who can rack up the largest number of steps over a week or a month. Ask your colleagues to sponsor you to reach your target and for competitors to make a charitable donation to take part.
- Cycle-a-thon – if your office has a gym, or you can bring an exercise bike into the office, work as a team to cycle a distance over 24 hours. Ask your colleagues to sponsor the riders and come to cheer them on.
- 5-a-side tournament – book a local pitch or use an outside space to hold a football tournament. Ask the players to donate to take part.
- Photography competition – set a theme and give budding photographers the chance to shine. Charge a donation per entry and hold an office exhibition of all the entries so that staff can vote for their favourite.
- Treasure hunt – create clever clues that lead your colleagues on a hunt around the office. Charge your colleagues to take part and give a prize to the person who gets to the finish fastest.
- Lunch and Learn – give your colleagues a whistle stop tour of a hobby or area of interest (art history, thai cooking, pottery – anything at all!) over a lunchtime. Make it fun and interactive and ask for a donation to take part.
