Kick-start the new year with a healthy habit. Give something up for the month of January, such as alcohol, social media or eating meat. Ask friends and family to sponsor you to help you stick to it.
Ask all your colleagues to bring in any unwanted or duplicate presents and raffle them off at work. Raffles are a fun way to raise money but are strictly regulated, so please get in touch so we can help make sure your raffle is legal.
