As ever, we’ve been consistently working hard here at UK Essays to help students in need of help with their studies, but we thought it was about time to turn our attention elsewhere and raise money for Children in Need.
On 18th November, our very own HR man – Lee – donated his flocculent body for the morning, in aid of a very entertaining waxing session. We all took our turns in spreading the hot wax and ripping the strips away to reveal skin as soft as a baby’s bum! As painful as it looked (and sounded!), Lee endured it until the money pot filled to a generous £155, at which point it was about time we let him recover…and moisturise!
We also all made the effort to ‘show our Pudsey spots’ in donning polka-dotted attire, as well as cake baking and selling off the results. From moist carrot cake to beautiful cupcakes, and even a box of Thorntons thrown in, our stomachs were well lined for the day.
And that wasn’t all; as part of the bonus of working hard for you here at UK Essays, we are usually rewarded with breakfast cereals to give us a daily morning boost as well as a ‘coffee morning buffet’ on Fridays as part of our Friday company meeting, but this week we decided it was only right to donate the funds usually spent on these items to Children in Need. After all, we can all live without our luxuries if it means we can help out elsewhere!
All in all, a whopping £260 was raised for Children in Need, so here’s to beating that great total next year! For now though, we have some important model answers and essay help to provide…
Do let us know of your fundraising activities, as we’ll need some good ideas in future, since Lee may not be ‘available’ next time.
