COLUMN: Host a festive fundraiser for cancer unit appeal
Firstly, be a star at Christmas, and instead of swapping cards, suggest to workmates that you all make a donation. If you download our ‘Be a Star at Christmas’ poster from be.macmillan.org.uk, colleagues can write up their festive messages while leaving a gift to help us with our work. You could also host a mince pie bake off – do any of your colleagues fancy themselves as culinary wizards? Assemble a team of lucky judges for a mince pie bake off and find out whose pies really are the best. As they say the proof is in the pudding. Or you could host a winter woolies party. Get those Christmas jumpers on and host a dress down day or Christmas party at your local pub with a difference. £2 donation to Macmillan for taking part and why not get a prize for the best or worst jumper. Prepare a Christmas hamper with donated festive treats and raffle off the hamper to support the appeal. Finally, donate any old or unwanted gifts. We’ll help give those gifts a home by organising a bring-and-buy sale. Christmas shopping.
