Robins & Day take pride in giving something back. Not only because it raises valuable funds for the charities close to our hearts, but because our employees are always happy to go that extra mile, creating the fun, engaging workplace everyone should strive for!
With that in mind, we have decided to create a section demonstrating the commitment to the community shown by all our employees, to tell you a little more about the incredible fundraising taking place, and in hope that everyone who hears about that will feel motivated to join in and do their bit too!
In 2019 we raised and donated over a whopping £75,000 to fantastic causes! Well done everyone! Not only is it noteworthy and impressive but, most importantly you are making a difference by giving something back! As well as supporting set charities throughout the year, we also encourage our employees to tell us of any personal fundraising they do, so we can shout about it on our Employee Hub, this year we have seen Marathons, Bike Rides, Boxing Matches and Football Fixture Game Cards! Here is a snapshot of some of the events that took place.
We kicked off this year’s fundraising in March with a Dance-A-Thon and fancy dress for Comic Relief! Comic Relief raises money to support people living incredibly tough lives. We help raise money so that organisations who are working on the ground can support the most vulnerable people and communities in society.
This year Robins & Day took part in baking (and tasting) some delicious cakes for Alzheimer's Society Cupcake Day. As you can see from the photos all of our employees came together and managed to raise a fantastic £2,173.54 for this great cause.
Jeans for Genes Day is the annual fundraising campaign for Genetic Disorders UK. We joined in to help raise money for projects that aim to transform the lives of children with genetic disorders. Here are some of our staff swapping their uniform for a denim overload for the day!
This year, all our Robins & Day staff were involved and having fun in ‘Pudsey’s Panic Room’. We created Robins & Day’s largest remote escape room game, which involved solving riddles to discover who had locked Pudsey in his very own Panic Room. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a charity day without some dressing up, dressing down or dressing like Pudsey on the final day of challenges.
For our Grande Finale of the year, we joined in the festive fun by pulling on our best Christmas Jumpers in return for a donation to Save the Children. By taking part, we can help make the world a better place and build a better future for children.
Having a Coffee Morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised at our Coffee Mornings aim to help those with cancer live life as fully as they can. All of our Robins & Day sites hosted their own Coffee Mornings, serving hot drinks and slices of cake whilst raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Our sites across the UK will continue to fund raise and help all of the causes above, along with local charities selected by the dealerships in 2020. Keep your eyes peeled here for more information on how we have chosen to be creative for our charity fundraising and how we can raise more money for charity next year.
