Yorkshire Day
Ey up! Staff at Benchmark Recruit recently joined forces with JCI Sheffield on a campaign to celebrate everything Yorkshire-like and raise money for local charities, in association with the South Yorkshire Community Foundation. On Friday 31st July all staff were encouraged to come to work dressed as one of the county's stereotypes and donate a minimum of £2 for the privilege! All money raised, once finalised, will be matched and gift aided through the SYCF's Grassroots Grants endowment scheme which will in turn double the final amount. Great fun and laughs-a-plenty were had on the actual day, but this was actually a really worthwhile experience as the money raised will go on to be invested and the interest generated will be used to make community grants to local groups forever.
