4 Hour Challenge Ideas
Auctions and Celebrations
Slave Auction
How many of your colleagues would jump at the chance to indulge in a bit of role-reversal and boss their manager around for 4 hours? Convince your senior managers to auction themselves off and the money will to roll in!
Time Auction
Everyone loves a holiday, so ask HR nicely and maybe you could offer your colleagues the chance to bid for 4 hour chunks of extra annual leave. The bidding is bound to go sky-high for this one!
Celebratory Party
Celebrate the end of the financial year in style by organising a party or gala dinner where you can really let your hair down and have fun together.
All-day Fundraisers
Dress Down Day
There is nothing simpler than a good old dress-down day, so let your colleagues know that you’ll be collecting for Meningitis UK on 4th April.
Raffle
Another fundraising classic with lots of potential for a 4 theme…
- £4 per row of tickets
- 4 jackpot prizes
- 4 hours off work to the winner
Cake Sale
Get everyone to bake or buy 4 cakes, and have a competition to see who can sell their goodies for the highest price.
Sponsored Events
Skydive
Meningitis UK can help you organise a group skydive if you are up for a real test of character and want to take a giant leap 4 meningitis. This is a challenge that will really blow away the stresses of the financial year!
Abseil Rally
If you work in or close to an impressive multi-storey building and would like to get the attention of the local press, perhaps you could organise an abseil rally and see how many people can descend it within 4 hours.
Marathon Relay
Most marathon fun-runners will complete the race in 4 hours, so why not get into teams of 4, jump on the treadmill and see which team can run a marathon distance (26 miles) in the fastest time.
Fun Run
Running 4 kilometres is within most people’s reach given a little training, so encourage your staff to stay fit and healthy by organising a sponsored jog around your local park. If you’re ambitious, you could even make it 4 miles instead!
Golf Day
Golf is always a favourite activity amongst our corporate supporters, but why not add a challenge element to this event by running a competition with a special award for anyone who achieves a 4-par average?!
Karaoke-thon
It might be painful to listen to, but a 4 hour karaoke-thon will really break down barriers and provide endless fun. Some people can be sponsored to sing, while others are bribed to stop!
Car Wash
Build links with your local community and break down office hierarchies by rolling your sleeves up and washing cars in turn for sponsorship or a £4 donation.
Quad Bike Challenge
Get muddy and release your inner child with a sponsored quad bike relay, or hit the tarmac at your local go-karting centre.
