Big Wigs is Back

18 February 2008

You may have read about Sue Ryder’s Big Wigs challenge in 2007, which involved 10 businesses competing for the crown of ‘Sue Ryder Charity Entrepreneur of the Year’ and raising a fantastic £22,000 for Thorpe Hall Hospice in the process.

Big Wigs is Sue Ryder’s exciting corporate challenge, which runs from March to July and involves giving away a crisp £50 note to business leaders and company teams from the city and setting them a unique challenge.

The challenge is to take the money and, over a four month period, prove just how good an entrepreneur you are. We are not telling anyone what to do with the money, we just want you to think of an ingenious way to make it grow and give it back to the charity with substantial interest.

At the end of the challenge period we will be naming the ‘Sue Ryder, Thorpe Hall Hospice Charity Entrepreneur of the Year’ amongst other awards for imaginative ideas and promoting the work of the hospice.

If you are interested in this exciting challenge please contact Emma on 01733 330060 or email:
