Giving Something Back Central Programme

What is centrally organised event?

The central events are those organised by the Giving Something Back team and promoted to all employees across the Group. These include challenges or volunteer projects set up exclusively for Bibby Line Group employees

They can either be based in the UK or abroad depending on what is included in the programme for that year. The central events will have a maximum participation and the challenges or projects can be for a specific charity, good cause or completed for a specific charitable organisation chosen by the participant. This will be stated during the promotional stage.

How to get involved

The Giving Something Back team will send promotional material to each Community Champion to be placed on the GSB wall planner at each site or displayed in a communal area. Any employees who wants to register for a centrally organised event can then be directed to contact the GSB team and begin the registration process.

Match Funding

Central events are eligible for a maximum match funding amount of £1,500, this is higher than the maximum match for employee individual fundraising (£1,000) as there can be considerably higher participation costs, with a much greater commitment from the fundraiser.

The match for example could be set at £1,250 (maximum of £1,500) per participant for the event, depending on the particular challenge or project and the guidelines set by the GSB team. This will be stated during the promotional stages of the event.

The central programme also offers a varied amount of initiatives that will be promoted via a number of channels. The employee can dip in and out of the programme and get involved in the elements that appeal to them.
