Charity Dinner Raises £3,000

Charity Evening

Edge Careers along with the group businesses for brum have made a donation to the great charity Alex’s Wish. Stuart Smith, one of our principal recruitment consultants, was humbled to be invited as guest of Morgan Sindall for a charity dinner to raise money for the great cause. Alex’s Wish was created to fund the battle against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a severe and progressive muscle wasting disease. Alex is 10 years old and if the disease follows its classic course it will leave him in a wheelchair by age 12 and paralysed by his teens and not live beyond his twenties. At this moment in time there is no cure, this is why Alex’s Wish was created. Their mission is to raise £1m by 2020 to get into the hands of the world’s leading scientists who have the best chance of finding a cure.

The evening managed to raise £3,000 for the charity and was supported by guest speaker and England Rugby world cup winner, Neil Back.

Morgan Sindall’s attendance at the charity dinner was only a small part of their ongoing support of Alex’s Wish, with members of the company completing a charity bike ride form London to Paris, which raised over £22,000.

Edge Careers have donated to Alex’s Wish and you can too, head to Alex’s Wish page to donate to such a great cause.

Edge Careers Dance for Three Hours to Help Raise Money for Peter Kay – Dance for Life

On Saturday 23rd April, Edge Careers staff flocked to the Barclaycard arena in Birmingham to take part in Peter Kay’s Dance for Life. The night was a three hour, non-stop dance-a-thon where many suspect shapes were thrown and strange outfits were worn, all in the name of raising money for Cancer Research UK. So far, over £100,000 has been raised for the charity, but you can still do your bit by donating on the official Just Giving page, here. The Phoenix Nights ace put on an incredible performance and made it a real night to remember for everyone involved.

Have a look at some of the shots from the brilliant night.

There’s a new exciting competition starting for Edge Careers employees.

Edge Careers employees are tasked to get the most famous person or people to pose for a photo wearing an Edge Careers t-shirt.

Edge Careers Children in Need

Edge Careers will donate a staggering £1,000 to the charity of choice of the winning Edge Careers employee in 2016.

The competition will be kicking off today, Friday 13th November, and will conclude next year to coincide with Children in Need 2016.

Edge Careers will be scoring their employees on a points system. To explain:

  • A photo of the “celebrity” will be scored on their fame level.
  • An employee can get as many “celebrity” photos as they wish.
  • Each employee will have their points tallied up at the end of the competition, with the highest total of points being the winner.

In order to gauge “how famous” somebody is, we will judge the social media presence of the celebrity in question. So this may be a combination of Twitter followers, Facebook likes and YouTube subscribers. If somebody isn’t active on social media, but is a well-known celebrity, then other factors will be taken into consideration and an internal vote will take place to decide the score of how famous they are and a ranking will be given.

A gallery will be set up at www.edgecareers.co.uk so that you can view the “famous people” we have managed to persuade to wear the T-Shirt.

Edge Careers are excited to announce that we are beginning a partnership with the fantastic charity Kits4Causes.

Edge Careers Kits4Causes

Kits4Causes is a charity based in the United Kingdom that collects unwanted football equipment and distributes it to social development projects around the world.

To date Kits4Causes have sent out over 37,000 football kits across 40 different countries.

Shortly Kits4Causes will begin kit amnesties at Premier League clubs, with the first being at Stoke City’s, Britannia Stadium on Saturday 5th December.

Here is what Kits4Causes had to say about their upcoming amnesty:

Since day one, exactly six years ago this month, we have dreamed of working with professional football clubs to help spread our message, collect kit, and get on board with the K4C ethos. Well, it’s finally happening! On the 5th December 2015 Stoke City will be holding a Kits4Causes amnesty day at their game vs Man City. A big thank you must go to Steve Hunt from the club for leading the organisation of this day. We’ve ordered more wristbands and t-shirts, honed up our tweeting skills, and enlisted volunteers. We now can’t wait for the big day.

This has come about as a result of the initiative of Anwar and Richard at the Football Supports Federation. Together, in our new partnership, we are hoping to host similar events at clubs up and down the county over the coming months and years, so a big thank you must go to them. So there you go. I don’t think anything else can be added on top of that. Some of the biggest news in our short but enjoyable history.

To help this great cause, simply click here to go to the charity’s donation page.

Edge Careers are looking forward to making this a fruitful partnership and hope to provide long standing support for Kits4Causes.
