Corporate Charity Challenges
Classic Tours organises innovative corporate challenges in the UK and
overseas.
These can be run as Open Charity Challenges, allowing each
employee to fundraise for their chosen cause, or corporately for the company
charity of the year.
Benefits to the company include:
- PR opportunities
- team building
- increased company loyalty
- improved communication and interpersonal skills
- once in a lifetime experience for employees
In order to take part, employees raise sponsorship funds - a portion of the
funds cover the cost of the challenge and the rest goes to charity. Some
companies match every pound of funds raised. This halves the amount that
employees need to raise to take part.
Choose from our vast array of existing itineraries or we can tailor-make one
to suit your company. Examples of challenges organised for employers
include:
Barclays Investment Services – North Downs - Team Building
Weekend
A team building weekend in the North Downs of Kent,
including an “It’s a Knockout” competition, murder mystery and treasure hunt on
bikes.
“Many, many thanks for a wonderful weekend. The office is buzzing this
morning so the team event really paid off and gave us all a boost”.
British Telecom – Dharamsala Trek for ChildLine
UK
Employees embarked on the Dharamsala Trek, in the foothills of
the Himalayas. They chose to raise money for ChildLine which has links
with ChildLine India where British Telecom has many call centres.
“It was an awesome experience. I don’t think anything can prepare you for
the assault India has on your senses!”
McDonald’s - China Bike Ride for Ronald McDonald House
Charities
Franchisees from this global fast food chain wanted to
embark on a far flung challenge to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House
Charities. A cycle ride from the Great Wall of China to Tiananmen Square
fitted the bill.
Orange – UK Three Peaks Challenge for Sense
This leading
mobile phone company wanted a UK challenge so Classic Tours suggested a 24 hour
Three Peaks climb in the Yorkshire Dales.
“I signed up so that I could simultaneously give to a worthy charity and
do something personally challenging and enjoyable at the same time”.
UnumProvident – Lands End from John O’Groats Jogging Relay for
SeeAbility
This well known insurance company with offices throughout
the UK wanted to involve employees from all areas. Classic Tours
devised Le Jog, a relay to Lands End from John O’Groats which has become
an annual event. It covers 1,000 miles and teams of 100 each run 10 miles
and raise £200 in sponsorship.
"The Le Jog relay just gets better every year. Having worked with Classic
Tours for over five years they always deliver outstanding unforgettable events
that benefit our charities, unify our staff and touch the hearts and minds of
all involved".
