ARM charity Christmas cards, raising over £4000 in Q1, and more!
Well what a first quarter it was for ARM’s charity fundraising, between
September and November we raised over £4000, which
was a great effort from everyone at ARM for supporting
Naomi House Children’s Hospice.
We’ve raised money through activities including; charity raffles, a
charity bake sale, a dress down day, and a half marathon. Moving in
to our quarter two, we have kicked it off with selling charity
Christmas cards.
According to Talking Retail an estimated £259million of
Christmas Cards will be sold this year, and we at ARM wanted to get in on the action to
help support the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Naomi House, and the Royal
British Legion. Our small stall took over £100 on its first
lunchtime of trading on Thursday at the Langstone Technology Park
Canteen, and this does not include the many donations passers by
added to the pot. Our stall will be back again next week when we
hope to sell the rest of our card stock, and bring in our share of
the £259million for our charities.
Throughout the next three months we have some exciting
activities planned to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust,
including our Active January, a charity quiz, more charity raffles,
and another charity bake sale. We are hoping to raise even more in
quarter two then we in quarter one, and everyone can get involved
from ARM staff, through to our
clients and candidates. If you would like to donate, please visit
