#MaydayF1CharityChallenge

Check out the fastest lap times set so far

Congratulations to Hubert Gajda!!

May 2017 saw the launch of the heavily anticipated Mayday F 1 British Grand Prix Charity Challenge! We required your help to raise as much money as possible for our local community. Lookout for the competition hashtag #MaydayF1CharityChallenge and make sure you use it on every post to help spread awareness.

Mayday Employment is dedicated to supporting local charities. We are partners with Katharine House Hospice and Banbury Young Homelessness Project. Our objective was to raise the awareness of two fantastic local charities through our latest fundraising competition.

The competition was in connection with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit in July. The competition format was to set the fastest lap time on a Play Station 4 using the latest F1 driving game. We hosted racing days in our Banbury office in the months leading up to the British Grand Prix.  We also hosted race days in company offices and staff break rooms of our clients to allow the employees of the donating organisations to take part. Mayday Employment donated 2x race day tickets for the British Grand Prix on the 16^th of July at Silverstone. The TOP 50 fastest participants were then entered into a prize draw to win the tickets. In addition the participant with the fastest recorded lap time won a Mystery Prize. To enter into our competition a donation of £2 per person was required and each entry qualified for a practice lap. The competition lap times were recorded in a league table with live updates on our website to enable organisations and participants to keep track off their progress. we had a total of 186 participants, an amazing effort from everyone involved.

To ensure everyone could take part in this event and donate to charity we offered people the chance to purchase raffle tickets to win some fantastic prizes. Mayday Employment set out to collect donations from local organisations and businesses to be used in the raffle. We raised a total of £1217.43 across 11 different race days at 9 different companies. A massive thank you to Tugo Food Systems, Mettex, First Line Ltd, Hella UK, MS Distribution, Portman Asset Finance, Lloyd’s Commercial Finance & First Source, DAR Lighting and Trousdale Bakery. Without these fantastic organisations we couldn’t have completed the challenge. Mayday Employment is extremely grateful of all of the generous donations towards our raffle and we want to thank you for any further publicity that you were able to offer us.

Thank you to everyone who participated, you helped to change the lives of people in our local community.
