Business superheroes needed for charity challenge

Business heroes are being sought to take part in an epic charity challenge which will raise vital funds for local hospice care.

Trinity Hospice is once again holding the Fylde Coast £50 Challenge for local businesses to make as much money as possible, and is hoping employees from across the Fylde coast grab their capes and find their inner incredible.

Sign up has begun for the challenge, which begins on May 1st and lasts for 16 weeks. Each participating business will be given £50, and will have four months to turn their cash into the biggest possible donation for either Trinity or Brian House Children’s Hospice.

Trinity’s Senior Fundraiser Janet Atkins said: “After taking a break last year, the £50 Challenge is back, and it’s bigger than ever. We’re looking forward to welcoming new superheroes of the fundraising world.”

In previous years, the £50 challenge has raised upwards of £40,000, and since an anonymous supporter has given the starting £50 for each team of fundraisers, every penny raised will go to Trinity.

Janet added: “It’s great to see the £50 challenge return.

“It is for every size of business – from big corporates to sole traders – and in previous years things have got very competitive. Many companies have found it’s a great team-building activity and have been very inventive in how they turn their £50 into much more.”
