Planned Fundraising Activities
As part of our charity commitment to raise money for charity, Opus Energy regularly plan a series of events for everyone to get involved with to help us achieve our goal. By taking part our employees have built stronger existing friendships and created new ones across Opus Energy.
Opus Energy like to bring a little fun to the working day and if it raises money for charity even better!! Our employees have organise arranged cake sales, fancy dress days, raffles, sweepstakes and much more - all in the name of charity.
Just some of the events that have challenged Opus Energy empoyees are the New York marathon, The BUPA Great South Run, and the 24 Peaks Challenge.
Up and coming events...
Opus Eco-day 3rd March 2010
Eco-Opus' aim is to build the awareness of energy efficiency throughout the company to help reduce our role in climate change, and to start the ball rolling the Opus eco-team is running eco-day on Wednesday 3rd March.
The activities during our Eco-day on Wednesday 3rd March will include:
- ebay team auction - Each department at Opus is tasked with finding something in a charity shop that they think will make the most money at auction. The items will go on sale for 3 days and the one that makes the most money will win an organic hamper for the team. All the money raised from the auction will go to the charity shop the winning item was bought from.
- eco-Raffle - We are planning an Eco-Raffle to be held on Eco day, with all proceeds going to the charity shop that wins the ebay team auction.
- eco-Quiz - We will have a quiz running through the day with some eco-friendly prizes up for grabs for the highest scores!
- Grow your own garden -Each department within Opus will be given a tray, some compost and seeds. Between now and June each department will be responsible for growing an indoor garden, which they are free to embellish as they see fit! In June we will review the gardens and a prize will be given for the most 'creative' and flourishing garden!
- Bring a buddy to work - To those people who don't normally car share, we are encouraging Opus employees to go that extra mile on eco-day to pick up a buddy and bring them to work? Each person that does will receive a small token of our appreciation for their efforts to be that little bit greener!
- Wear it green - Its a dress down day - so our employess are digging out those green socks, jumpers, handbags and t-shirts and support eco-day with wearing something green for the day.
5K Midnight Walk Pyjama Party 24th April 2010
Opus Energy employees are stepping up to the challenge of the 5K Midnight Pyjama Party held on 24th April 2010 in aid of the Cynthia Spencer Hospice and four other charities. They will be setting off in their jim-jams at 10.30pm on night out with a difference, as they head off into the darkness looking for that hot chocolate and bacon butty that will be waiting for them at the finish line.
Employees have even got their friends and family involved to make a real evening of it! The Midnight walk is a great chance to get together with a group of friends, and have a giggle, whilst raising money for a great cause. By taking part they are making a huge difference to the lives of so many.
Good luck to everyone taking part. Wrap up warm and have fun!
