• Dress down day: A simple and effective way to raise lots of money quickly! Or why not turn it on it’s head? In our-post Covid-19 world where we’re used to seeing each other on Zoom meetings in our comfy clothing, why not try a ‘dress up’ day – with awards going to the most suited and booted?

Quirky ways to fundraise at work

Think outside the box for your next workplace charity fundraiser!

• Role swaps: For one day only you auction off your job role to someone else – and you take on theirs! Not only a fun way to get to know colleagues you might not normally spend time with, it’s also a great initiative for your workplace to better understand the demands of each other roles.
• 30 mins free: You and your team could commit to donating the last 30mins of your day’s salary to charity  for a week, with lots of you doing this all at once you can really make a difference!
• Auction of promises – office edition!: You could commit to making the morning coffees for a fortnight, or giving up the good parking space next to the office for a week, you could auction off your skills at Photoshop and make everyone a snazzy Teams background. The possibilities are endless – ramp up the interest in your auction by promoting it on your work intranet, or send a few emails round.
