Eight Point Two, Giving Back to UK Charities
Eight Point Two is a specialist Charity Events Organiser, offering solutions to a varied portfolio of charities, as well as companies and individual clients. They have been delivering innovative and daring experiences across the UK for over 11 years, while catering to charity requirements with quality service.
"Eight
Point Two is dedicated to supporting charities, they provide professional high-calibre services for a range of fundraising
and sponsored events from small to large charities."
“We adhere to best practice and strict codes of conduct. Our working knowledge of the charity and fundraising market allows us to develop our events accordingly, and satisfy the high expectations of charities and their fundraisers.”
Due to the
decline in charitable giving, it has been necessary for charities to innovate
in their revenue streams and look towards fundraising events as a major avenue of
income. Charities strongly
rely on continued support from donors, yet this may not always be via straightforward donations; donors value interaction with their charities and being involved in communal activities that support the causes that they are passionate about. Charity Events reinforce the social aspects of charitable giving, allowing donors to meet one another thereby strengthening their sense of community and donor-loyalty.
"Charities are beginning to realise that more funds can be raised
through events than straightforward donations; Adventure events, sponsored
runs and extreme challenges tend to encourage higher sponsorship values, also allowing
a multitude of participants to join and therefore raise much more money for charities."
Adventures for Charities
Charity Events have grown in popularity, with a
trend towards UK-based or local events such as runs and sponsored challenges.
Eight Point Two hold a variety of different events from Walking Events, Abseiling events, Cycling Events to Bespoke Events. Each event
can be catered to suit all levels of ability, and may take place in some of the most spectacular
and challenging settings.
Popular events range from walks in the Brecon Beacons, the National
3 Peaks challenge, to more intensive cycling challenges such as the Paris - London route, or races such as the JCB mud run in aid of the NSPCC.
Eight Point Two also offer a range of unique challenges, such as The Whole Hog, which is has grown into a nation-wide
annual race series. Each event has several parts that require competitors to face numerous challenges and obstacles, throughout the
course; and to get quite dirty while doing so! The Whole Hog has grown in such great popularity with charities that Eight Point Two have now released a dedicated 'Whole Hog Races' website: www.wholehograces.co.uk
Charities such as Macmilan Cancer Care, The British Red Cross, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Kidney Research UK and Cystic Fibrosis Trust are among some of Eight Point Two’s
clients, who all testify to the professionalism, high calibre service and client care that they have experienced with
Eight Point Two; As shown in their positive comments: http://www.eightpointtwo.co.uk/testimonials.asp
