Give back to the people and the places that need us the most this Christmas. Over this past year, communities have needed our support more than ever to rebuild following the pandemic.

For schools, they are depending on their outdoor areas more than ever before to provide outdoor learning and education to children. But many schools are located near busy main roads with no barrier, opening them up to air pollution that can cause lasting effects on the children that go there.

That’s why Balfour Beatty are working with Groundwork and raising funds to create natural pollution barriers in primary schools in the areas where employees live and work. Your fundraising will help us to deliver more of these projects so that children are able to learn outdoors safely.

Whether you’re back together with colleagues in person or still doing things virtually, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite festive fundraising ideas to inspire you!

Set up your online fundraising page or donate directly.


 

Christmas Jumper Day

Hold a Christmas Jumper Day and award a prize to whoever styles it out best! Ask colleagues to make a donation for taking part.

 

Festive Bake Sale

Because it wouldn’t be fundraising if we didn’t mention cake… Or ramp up the competition with a mince pie bake off!

 

Secret Santa Donation

We’re big fans of a Secret Santa here at Groundwork – if you are too, maybe this year you could ask colleagues to donate a couple of pounds from their Secret Santa budget to Groundwork.

 

Christmas Craft Sale

Christmas is a great time to get crafty and creative – could you host a Christmas Craft Sale in your offices?

 

Christmas Quiz

Everyone loves a good old Christmas Quiz! Get your colleagues together in person or online and ask for a donation to take part.

 

Sell Groundwork Christmas Cards

Alongside your festive fundraising, you could sell our Groundwork Christmas cards in your offices. If you’d like us to arrange getting some sent out to you then please get in touch!
