OUR CHARITY WORK
Every two years, the CIPP team votes for two charities to support for the coming year. Our chosen charities during this period were Acorn’s Children’s Hospice and the Marine Conservation Society.
Summer Sizzler One of the major fundraising events is the Summer Sizzler, held every July at the CIPP head office. This fun-filled day brings together staff and their families to raise money for the selected charities. The event includes a BBQ (cooked by the team), drinks, sweet treats, games and a raffle, all aimed at supporting the charities. The team also take part in dress down days, cake sales, raffles and personal challenges, such as runs and hikes, throughout the year. Volunteering Each team member is also given one volunteering day a year, to help any charity or cause. This benefits the charity by offering hands-on support and awareness, and the team to give back and support wellbeing. In the last year this has involved volunteering at the Acorn Children’s Hospice and Wythall Animal Sanctuary to help keep their outdoor spaces clean.
Calendar To support the charity selections, the team came together to create a charity calendar. Volunteers dressed up according to a specific theme, and the calendar was then sold to staff, friends, and family to raise funds for the chosen charities. In 2024, the team worked on the 2025 calendar, which included fashion through the ages, ranging from the 1920s to the 00s.
