The Society is happy for colleagues to get involved and support the campaign, through organising fundraising events at their sites. Click here to find resources.

How can you make a difference?
-
Have fun but be considerate and ensure the fundraising is appropriate to your working environment and follows any Government guidance on colleague or member safety.
-
Guess the numbers of sweets or guess the name (of a teddy/toy etc.) are all old favourites and easy to do
-
Host a bake sale – ensure you follow any allergy advice by clicking here.
-
Prize competitions (such as those above) and tombolas don’t need licences and are a great way to raise funds
-
Raffles - please don’t organise these as we don’t have a licence as a Society for sites to do this
