Charity fundraising
Over the course of the project, the team raised over £1,700 for our national charity partners, Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Scotland (2015-16), and CLIC Sargent (2017-current). Fundraising activities varied from spring cafés, ‘buy a brick’ and ‘buy a bauble’ campaigns, Halloween events and sweepstakes. A subcontractor team from Carey’s also gave their razors a rest, and took part in Movember.
But it’s not all about raising money, a collection point for CLIC Sargent was set up and saw more than 950 items donated, with a cash value of approximately £1,000.
In June 2016, BAM sponsored and took part in the People’s Tower, Dundee Royal Arch Project. This is where the public come together to recreate Dundee’s iconic Royal Arch out of cardboard, before toppling the tower and trampling on its remains, as part of the annual festival Ignite Dundee.
We also sponsored the local Riverside CSC football club, so they could purchase new kits in both 2015 and 2017.
