  • Pride dress down day: ask your colleagues to join you by wearing a Pride-themed outfit for one day. This could be the classic rainbow colours or you can go one step further and dress up as your favourite LGBTQ+ personality.
  • Bake sale: this classic fundraiser never fails! Get your colleagues to create their signature bakes and sell round the office.
  • Potluck: ask your co-workers to bring in their favourite homemade lunch dish, and then ask for a £5 donation so everyone can tuck in!
  • Hold a bucket collection: a fun and generous way to help those affected by HIV or poor sexual health.
