Fundraising at work
In the ten years of Byte Night, we have witnessed all manner of fun and daring fundraising events in offices up and down the country. Here is our selection of some of the best:
Sleeping your way to success: get some practise in before October 3rd and sleep out in the reception area of your office, asking those who pass to make a donation to Action for Children.
Auction of promises: Ask colleagues to come up with a promise to be auctioned over the company intranet. An example promise might be doing the coffee run every day for a week.
Beat the boss: Organise a pub quiz or sporting challenge giving colleagues an opportunity to beat the boss!
Pyjama day: Ask colleagues to wear their pyjamas to the office for a day and fine all those who fail to take part with a donation to Action for Children.
Breakfast: Arm yourself with bacon and croissants and serve up breakfast in the office, charging your colleagues a donation to Action for Children to get their grub.
Sweepstake: Set up an office sweepstake for a big event, which could be anything from Wimbledon to the winner of the latest reality TV competition! Split the profits between the winner and Byte Night.
Raffle: approach local shops and restaurants for prizes and run a raffle at a work party.
