Waverley Care are shaking things up!

Posted: 4th June 2019

Today Waverley Care – Scotland’s HIV & Hepatitis C Charity – launch a new apprentice-style corporate team challenge, The Big Corporate Shake-up.

The event challenges teams from companies across Edinburgh to compete against each other to raise funds during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Teams will shake buckets and collect donations from thousands of festival-goers at the Pleasance Courtyard.

Matt Middler, Corporate Relationships Manager, Waverley Care said “There are many benefits for competing teams including positive PR, team building and practicing those prized powers of persuasion. But most of all, this is a great opportunity to support people affected by HIV and Hepatitis C in Scotland.”

The event, which will run from 12-18 August, will see teams of six people competing to win the coveted Shake-up trophy for their company along with a mystery Fringe-related prize.

Applications to enter a team into The Big Corporate Shake-up are open until Monday 17 June.
