Our fathers, partners, brothers, and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about.
We can’t afford to stay silent.
This Movember Kelly Group employees have joined forces raising funds in support of the Movember 2021 movement. All fundraising efforts have been a great success. As we see this year’s fundraising activities come to an end, we are proud to share our workforce has raised an incredible £10 209.
Kelly Group has recognised the extraordinary nationwide fundraising efforts and has very generously agreed to double every pound raised during the course of Movember bringing our grand total to £20,418. A huge thank you to the Group for supporting our men’s health charity project.
Our national Movember Workplace Ambassadors did an excellent job organising a large variety of fundraising activities including:
Bake sales
Hosted at our Wembley Head Office, Dunstable & Nuneaton offices.
After work coffee
An event organised by Kelly Group Mental Health First Aiders at Nuneaton where they welcomed individuals with literature, fliers, and information about mental health counselling.
Pay up to dress down
This initiative was introduced nationwide within our offices offering the privilege to donate and dress down on each working day in the month of November.
Freedom Friday
Every week in November we had a prize draw at our key offices where the lucky winner who purchased a raffle ticket won Friday afternoon off.
Group walks
Individuals from our Wembley and Dunstable offices organised walking groups during the month of November
Swimming challenge
This challenge involved swimming 60 km over 2 months during Movember. 60km represents the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour.
Cycling challenge
Individuals were challenged to cycle 120km this Movember representing 60km fortnightly for the 60 men we lose each hour to suicide every day.
