Ideas

If you're struggling for ideas for what to do in the Challenge, here's a run-down of some of our ideas:

• Hold an Auction of Promises
• Have a dress-down day in your office
• Do a team challenge and get your friends and colleagues to sponsor you - e.g. The Great Yorkshire Run or The Whole Hog Run
• Buy fruit and prepare a fruit salad to sell on a Friday morning instead of staff having bacon (lose pounds to raise £!)
• Hold an event and charge people to enter
• Hold a raffle
• Hold a car boot sale in your office car park
• Hold a 'Stars in Your Eyes' Night
• Stage a fashion show with a twist
• Put on a Speed Dating evening
• Invite some friends to dinner and start a pyramid dinner party (your friends then have to hold a dinner party for some of their friends and so on!)

Quite often, the best ideas are simple but innovative. You may wish to do something that complements your business nature and allows you to take advantage of your existing expertise and contacts. Equally, you might also like to do something which provides a contrast from your day-to-day work, such as a sponsored abseil. Whatever you choose to do, there will be a prize for the most innovative fund-raising idea, so get your thinking caps on!
