Children in need

Children in need created a big buzz around the work place with remarkable and entertaining events occurring throughout the day, which raised a total £416.18. Sterling then matched this amount to give the largest amount raised for Children in Need by the company to date, of over £800!

Numerous staff got involved in wacky competitions such as "Who can eat the most cream crackers?" and "Who can eat the most baked beans with a cocktail stick?" These were won by a dry mouthed Jay Worsfold and the baked bean kid Joe Hunt.

Contributions were also raised by brave Paul Lewis who waxed his legs for the charity. Stephen Dransfield also made a courageous input, by having his chest hair waxed in the shape of the Sterling "S" in front of a large crowd of spectators, there to cheer him on. 

John Pizzey and Nick Wiggins both volunteered to have wet sponges thrown at them for £1 a sponge. The pair raised over £65 and showed no fear as the sponges were hurled in their direction. The design team buskers were on hand to provide additional entertainment and to raise some additional cash.

Delicious cakes made by Sterling staff were on sale throughout the day, the design studio raised £100 with a prize draw, and "Guess the Baby Photo" also added to the total money raised.
