Daytime
Bake Sale
Everyone loves a cup of tea, a piece of cake and a catch-up so get everyone together to
raise funds and awareness for YoungMinds. Think Banana Bread, Lemon Drizzle and
Pineapple Cake.
Bingo
There’s nothing like a bit of bingo for some healthy competition! It’s quick and easy to
organise, but a great way to raise some extra funds.
Guess the baby
Ask everyone to bring in a baby photo of themselves and pin them all up. Ask for donations
to guess who’s who and the most correct wins a prize.
Office Olympics
Organise a mini Office Olympics challenge, and encourage some friendly competition!
Give each team a different country, and play games like Bin Basket Ball or Speed Typing.
Evening
Cheese and Wine Evening
What better way to celebrate a successful #HelloYellow Day than with a cheese and wine
evening? Charge £5 per person and donate the proceeds.
Around the World
Go ‘around the world’ in one evening with food and drinks from different countries – and
charge an entry fee. Have a think about dress codes, and music!
The BIG Quiz
