What is the Accumulator Challenge?

The Accumulator Challenge is a local initiative that will see businesses in the community competing against each other to raise as much as possible for ellenor. We will give your company a crisp £50 note and four months to find ways of increasing it as much as you can. You can be as creative as you dare to be, as long as you keep it safe and legal!

Why take part?

Getting your company involved with the Accumulator Challenge is a fantastic way to engage staff and inject a little fun into the workplace. We will be there to support you along the way and your dedicated contact from ellenor will be on hand to help you with your fundraising ideas. However you decide to complete the challenge, this is an ideal opportunity to encourage teamwork, develop creativity, boost morale amongst staff and engage with your local community!

The winners will be mentioned in any press releases sent out once the challenge is complete and will be featured on our website and social media pages. Our Accumulator Challenge Awards will take place in February and this year there are six trophies up for grabs:

• Winner  - Gold Award
• Runner Up - Silver Award
• Runner Up - Bronze Award
• Community Engagement Award
• Innovation Award
• Outstanding Achievement Award

We are pleased to say that the 2021 Accumulator Challenge will be sponsored by PLP Fire Protection, a trusted fire safety and protection company specialising in the installation, maintenance and repair of fire safety systems and equipment which include Fire Alarms, PA/VA Systems, Fire Extinguishers, Smoke Vent Systems, Emergency Lighting and Dry Risers.

Rob, who became involved in the challenge, says the decision to support the charity was “a no brainer”.

While Rob’s staff pitched a few ideas – including a 24-hour video gameathon – the team opted to utilise the talents of Service Manager Karen, who specialises in creating festive baubles that feature personalised messages. With Karen’s skilled fingers making the decorations – and the rest of the PLP Fire Protection team marketing and selling them – the team raised over £250 for our charity.

The 2021 challenge is yet to commence however, Rob and the team have some amazing fundraising ideas and plans ready for 1 September.
