Unite your team, boost morale, and change lives – one fundraiser at a time.
Supporting a local charity like Helping Hands through workplace fundraising is more than just doing good – it is about coming together as a team to create real, lasting impact in your community. Whether you are hosting a bake-off, quiz night, dress-up day, or step challenge, fundraising at work boosts team spirit, strengthens morale, and brings colleagues together for a shared purpose. It is a fun, meaningful way to engage your workforce while helping individuals in our area overcome trauma and homelessness. Let us turn your workplace into a place of hope and change!
Host an Akeeva Divas Pop Up
Our incredible Akeeva Divas have taken fundraising into their own hands – quite literally – by crafting and selling beautiful resin products to support Helping Hands. This creative, sustainable project not only raises vital funds, but also gives the women involved a renewed sense of purpose, pride, and achievement. Every piece they create is a symbol of resilience and recovery. You can support their journey by hosting a Pop-Up Store in your workplace during lunch – giving your team the chance to shop with heart, learn more about our work, and be part of something truly empowering. Every purchase helps change a life.
Step-Up Office Challenge
Take steps toward change – literally.
Encourage teams or departments to compete in a step count challenge for a week or a month. Use fitness trackers or apps to log progress and get sponsored for your miles. Not only is it great for wellbeing, but every step supports someone on their journey to recovery.
Charity Coffee Morning
Turn your break into something that makes a real difference.
Host a Helping Hands coffee morning and invite colleagues to bring in baked goods or breakfast snacks. Ask for small donations in exchange for a brew and a bite. It is a straightforward way to spark conversations, connect with colleagues – and raise funds that fuel recovery.
Desk-to-Desk Challenge or Raffle
Make giving a game!
Set up a fun office raffle with prizes donated by local businesses or colleagues. Or run a “Desk-to-Desk Challenge” – anything from mini quizzes to paper plane competitions – where every entry supports our cause. Fun, fast, and ideal for building team spirit.
Dress Down (or Dress Up!) Day
Swap the suit for something silly or stylish – for a cause.
Whether it is dressing down, wearing orange for World Homeless Day, or hosting a fancy dress theme, invite your team to pay a small donation to take part. You will raise awareness and vital funds – while adding a bit of colour to your workplace.
Lunchtime Quiz or Bingo
Fuel your lunch break with fun and fundraising.
Host a themed charity quiz or a round of bingo during the lunch hour. Get teams together, bring the competitive energy, and ask for a donation to enter. Add bonus rounds, spot prizes, or a raffle to boost your total and the buzz.
Pay It Forward Wall
Share kindness around the office.
Set up a “Pay It Forward” board where staff can donate to buy small surprises for each other – a coffee, snack, or kind note. Each donation supports Helping Hands, and every gesture brings positivity into the workplace.
