How Will Your Agents Be Supporting Children in Need?

Published On: 4th Nov 2015 10:15

The Children in Need Appeal Show will be taking place on Friday 14th November… And you don’t have to be taking calls to make a difference!

Last year, BBC’s 2014 Children in Need appeal raised over £32 million.

Here are some tried and tested ideas from other contact centres to help your agents fundraise for Children in Need:

Hold an auction for the ‘Best Parking Space’, ‘Extra-Long Breaks’ or the ‘Best Seat’
Fancy dress

Ask local companies to donate prizes such as cinema tickets for a charity raffle
Have an all-day-long Pyjama Party

Face painting

A ‘Gunge the Manager’ event
Charity quiz
‘Decorate the Best Contact Centre Pod’ Competition

A ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ Themed Day
