TURN WORK INTO PLAY FOR OUR HOPSCOTCH KIDS!

Your workplace can support playtime for Scotland’s most vulnerable children

‘I love HopScotch, it's the best place ever, I will miss it so much. It has a beautiful garden and house and activities that I will never forget’

Here at HopScotch we work with young people whose childhood has been dominated by poverty, neglect, deprivation, as well as often acting as the carer for others. At Ardvullin, our centre buried in the Scottish Highlands, we are able to give these children holidays full of fun activities and laughter – a first for so many of them.

Your workplace can help us give this vital childhood experience to even more children, who desperately need a break from the stress of their daily life.

Turn work into play by adopting HopScotch as your company’s chosen charity. Come together as a team to walk, run, swim, hike, bake, raffle…your imagination is the only limit!  Or nominate HopScotch as your Charity of the Year.  The support of companies like yours is vital to our work and we love to shout about the work you do for us on our social media and public channels.

These organisations turned work into play by...

Festive Fundraising

We are all aware of the pressures of the current cost-of-living crisis, and it will be felt even more keenly over winter.  There is so much you can do in the run-up to Christmas at your workplace to raise funds for our HopScotch kids!

Christmas Jumper Day

Dust off your best Christmas jumper and if you're feeling extra festive, pop on some reindeer antlers too.  Drop off your donation for taking part and then enjoy an extra-festive day in the office!

The Great Christmas Bake-Off

Organise a Christmas bake sale to raise funds for HopScotch - and maybe even add a competitive element!  Whose mince pies would have Santa drooling?

Christmas Quiz

Whether in-person, online or hybrid, everyone loves a quiz! Get your team together, pay the entrance fee and get ready to battle for bragging rights as the biggest brain in the office.

Best decorated Desk

Everyone contributes to take part in making their desk the best winter wonderland. A prize for the winner and everyone gets to feel good about supporting HopScotch (and who doesn't like fairy lights!)

Secret Santa

Add HopScotch to the nice list and donate your last hour of pay before the Christmas break - or you could sign up to Payroll Giving to make your gift go even further (more info below!).

....and there's so many more ideas!  Let us know if you're taking part in some festive fundraising for HopScotch at info@hopscotch-charity.org

You can also donate to HopScotch direct from your gross salary before tax is deducted.  This means it costs you less to give us more!  For example, if you would like HopScotch to receive £10, it will cost you…

Basic rate 20% -  £8

Higher rate 40% -  £6

Additional rate 45% -  £5.50

It's really easy for your employer to register with a payroll giving agency. We can also help your employer with the process, just contact us on info@hopscotch-charity.org
