Give it some wellie!

Are you a graphic designer, copywriter, architect, photographer or anyone else involved in the creative industry? We want you and your team to accept the yellow wellie and take part in our unique new Fundraising Challenge.

We know you're creative, but can you harness that creativity for a good cause? This is your chance to demonstrate your imagination and ingenuity to raise funds for an excellent cause.

Our challenge to you is to raise £1000 (or more) between May and December 2008 to support the training of one RNLI crew member, in Scotland, for a year. How you raise the funds is up to you - you can be as creative as you dare - as long as it's legal!

And just to show how much we appreciate your support, we will be giving you a glamourous awards ceremony to showcase your work and celebrate all your hard work. This will be a great opportunity for you, your team and any clients who have helped you to attend and see what your competitors came up with!

Add some tinsel to your challenge!

You still have time to enter the Yellow Wellie Challenge, but with the closing date being 12 December, you need to pull on your wellies and get cracking.

As the festive period starts to bang on our front doors (sigh), why don't you consider doing something Christmassy with your fundraising? Here's jus a few ideas we had.

Maybe you could sell decorations to your staff and customers on your office tree?

Instead of a Secret Santa, you could buy timeshares for each other with your Yellow Wellie.

How about having your Yellow Wellie at the office party – if your company puts on a good spread for staff or customers, maybe they would be feeling generous and stuff some cash into something yellow!

Or best of all … maybe you could convince the boss to do his annual ‘relaxed' office party dance in just his wellies – for a sizeable donation of course!

What we are saying is it doesn't matter, as long as it's fun, safe and legal!
