Dress Down Fridays

This is a great idea that runs every Friday. Our staff pay one pound to shed their suits and come into the office in casual dress. Not only does it raise our spirits and lots of money for charity, it gives us all that Friday Feeling!

Here is a list of how successful Dress Down Friday has been so far.

It is not just our office staff who nominate charities, our customers do too. Like Lee Dobson from Irlam who suggested September’s charity of England Amputee Football Association, who will be benefitting from £313.30. Lee is hoping to represent GB in the World Cup this year.
