Employee fundraising

A partnership with Arthritis Care can help motivate your employees and support staff development and team building.

We can support employee fundraising activities with posters, balloons, collection boxes, sponsorship forms and certificates.

Previous employee fundraising has included dragon boat races, dress-down days, sports events including the London Marathon, cycle rides and even sky-diving.

Arthur's Great Escape

Arthur Bear is Arthritis Care’s official mascot and this year he’s helped us raise money towards our services for people with arthritis.

Earlier this year we launched Arthur's Great Escape, a challenge to photograph Arthur Bear in strange, exotic or far-flung places, to raise funds for Arthrits Care.

Arthritis doesn’t discriminate between sex, age, race, religion, or nationality, and we wanted to reach everyone with the condition, wherever they are.

Companies that took part were given their own Arthur Bear to get them started. Their challenge was to take a picture of Arthur in an unusual place or location anywhere in the world. It could have been anywhere from the office or home, to the jungles of Borneo. Each company was asked to raise money for Arthritis Care and was given a fundraising pack to help with ideas.

The winning photo, decided by our panel of judges, was a picture taken by WPS Insurance Ltd. The company shot a sequence of photographs in which naughty Arthur was taken to Dartmoor Prison, but then later escaped over the wall.

Visit Arthur Bear's Great Escape gallery to see some of the photographs that were entered in the competition.
