Fundraising at work
A really good way to raise money is to get your company and colleages involved:
The simplest way you can get your company to support you is to enquire about their matched giving policy. Most companies are part of a scheme where they will match your fundraising total e.g: You raise £200, they donate an additional £200. It is definitely worth approaching them to see if they’ll help.
Create a cycling team : ask your colleagues to join you in cycling at the Bikeathon. Organise a dress down day : suggest everyone pays £2 for the day. Get sponsored to take the stairs all day instead of the lift : Maybe a colleague will suffer with you. Put your company logo on your T-shirts : raise money in return for sponsorship. Set up a swear box in your workplace. Set up a "shooting range" : everyone at work can pay to throw water balloons at volunteers in a designated area. Ask colleagues to cycle or run to work : donate the money saved on transport. Get willing colleagues and managers to offer their skills : e.g. boss makes tea all day, free massages, cake sale.Be sponsored to take the stairs all day instead of the lift. : Maybe a colleague will suffer with you.You may need to get permission from your relevant manager for some of the above.
