We did our first fundraiser on 7 October 2021 when we celebrated our first birthday and we raised money for Samaritans.
Why Samaritans?
Mental wellbeing is hugely important at Scout and as September was a suicide prevention month, one of our colleagues Stella suggested raising money for Samaritans. They do so much amazing and important work around suicide prevention that we all wanted to contribute and donate for this cause.
How we raised money?
A few of our people played golf to raise money and they did really well!
We had a bake-off competition
We played 'Guess the baby photo' game
And we did an auction of amazing prizes which was hosted by our founder Ed.
We raised £1,153 which means that Samaritans can employ and train 6 more volunteers to help people who are struggling. We are proud of the money we've raised, not to mention how much fun it was to create and take part in the fundraising!
