Trust us to bring you another fundraising idea!
Charities Trust continually looks for new and innovative ways in which to raise money for charities. However, this idea goes one step further and gives employees cash and raises money for a charity that they nominate.
Charities Trust has linked up with envirofone the only mobile phone recycling company that pays cash to people to recycle their phone. For each phone traded with envirofone you receive cash and £3.00 is donated to any UK Registered Charity, via Charities Trust.
Employees details are not shared with any third party and your donation will also remain anonymous to the charity your employees have chosen.
This fundraising idea is good for the environment, good for charities and good for your employees!
