How to run the event

Wellies to Work is Action Medical Research's brand new fundraising event, and we'd love you to be part of it. All you have to do is encourage everyone in your workplace to wear their favourite rubber boots on Friday 17 September 2010, (or choose a date that suits you) and collect a donation of £2 per welly-wearer.

Everyone loves a good pair of wellies, whether it's a sturdy set in classic green or an attention grabbing patterned pair. Our mascot, Paddington Bear, is rarely seen without his shiny red boots.

There are plenty of ways to add more fun to your Wellies to Work Day too. Read some of our suggestions for getting the most out of your Wellies to Work day. All of the money you raise will help to fund vital research to improve the health of babies and children. So what are you waiting for?

Organising your own

Wellies to Work Day is easy

  1. Register
  2. Spread the welly word around the office and display the downloadable poster (PDF).
  3. Remember to collect £2 from each person on the day. If some of your colleagues aren’t willing to welly (although we can’t think why!), they can still make a contribution and join in the fun.
  4. Count up your cash and send it to us in one of the following ways:
    - Via your online account
    - using the payment form provided in the Toolkit section
    - By calling 01403 210406
  5. Sponsor your colleagues to do pretty much anything using the sponsorship form provided in the Toolkit section
