SSG raising money and spreading awareness for important causes.
Published Jul 30, 2024
So far this year, SSG have proudly hosted and participated in numerous charitable events, raising a substantial sum for various causes.
Find out more about what we’ve been getting up to!
15 March - Red Nose Day
This year's theme, "Do something funny for money", inspired us to engage our team with a variety of fundraising games. Activities included cake decorating, a comedy quiz, and a playful red nose hunt in the office.
21 March – The Great Tommy Sleep Out - Royal British Legion
Members of our team participated in The Great Tommy Sleep Out to raise awareness and funds for homeless veterans. The event involved spending a night sleeping outside in cold and uncomfortable conditions, mirroring the realities faced by many veterans on the streets. Our team showed their dedication and compassion while raising money and spreading awareness for this important cause.
14 June – UEFA Euro 2024 – Cancer Research UK and Prostate Cancer
To celebrate UEFA Euro 2024, we held a sweepstake for our team members. To enter, participants donated £2, with the funds going to the winner's chosen charity.
As the tournament progressed the competition got hot with participants being knocked out left, right and centre; building a fantastic buzz around the office. Our lucky winners, who drew Spain, chose to donate the funds to Cancer Research UK.
We also hosted a "Wear a Football Shirt to Work" day in support of Prostate Cancer's #Shirt2Work campaign. Team members were able to wear a football shirt of their choice, whilst donating £2 towards a fantastic cause.
12 July - St Luke’s Midnight Walk - St Luke's Hospice
Another year meant another St Luke’s Midnight Walk for our dedicated SSG team. This time, 11 team members braved a rather wet night to take part in this meaningful event. Decked out in pink and glitter, our team proudly walked six miles across Plymouth, making it a memorable experience. They raised a whopping £270 for St Luke’s Hospice.
As well as these events, we have had members of the team take part in their own charitable events. These include Race for Life 10k, Pretty Mudder 5k, and a charity ball for The Royal Engineers’ Association.
We still have plenty of charitable events left to go including Macmillan Coffee Morning on the 27 September and a fun filled day of activities for Children in Need on the 13 November.
