“I believe very strongly that it must be in a company's interest to invest in local communities because business is affected by so many social factors: crime, vandalism,antisocial behaviour, education, transport, environment”

TEAMS WANTED!
Are you Creative? Are you Imaginative?
Do you like making loads of Money?
If the answer is YES, then we want YOU
for the Croydon 100 Challenge!
THE SP: Each team of 6 who enters the Croydon 100 Challenge will be given £100 and 6 weeks to turn their £100 into as much money as possible. You and your team will be competing against lots of other teams of 6 from different companies – the team that raises the most money wins a celebration meal for 6 plus wine in a local restaurant. All the money raised will be donated to local charities.
The Challenge starts on 2nd June and finishes on 11th July and the winners will be announced a week later. You must register as a team of 6 by 1st May (see details below). Once registered, you will receive a Team Pack on 16th May outlining the rules (for example, nothing illegal!). A Welcome Pack will arrive with each participating team on the morning of 2nd June when the Challenge begins containing T-Shirts, Letter of Authenticity, Security Tags and Rules of Play plus details of the other teams involved.
To add some spice to the Challenge, your team will be required to report back on a weekly basis to Croydon Commitment telling us how much money you have raised and how you did it. Progress will be closely monitored and reported in the local newspaper so if you want publicity, make it spicy!

Launched in March 2007, DonaPhone For Charity is a recycling scheme for mobile phones involving Croydon Commitment companies whereby in exchange for mobile phones a donation is made to local Croydon charities. The phones are recycled, whatever condition they are in and in return we are able to raise money for our chosen charities.
October 2006 saw L Vaughan Spencer appearing at Addington Palace in front of a corporate audience of over 200 people as part of a charity fundraiser. Neil Mullarkey, in disguise as L Vaughan Spencer, a hilarious and thoroughly entertaining caricature of a motivational speaker, donated his services free of charge for the evening. An auction and raffle afterwards, raised over £10,000 on the night.
