Have you been a bit naughty this year? Want to ensure you are on Santa’s Nice List by Christmas? Then we have the perfect festive fundraiser for you to!

This year CHSS have joined forces with Santa Claus himself, to track down some of Scotland’s worst offending ‘Christmas Criminals’! We’re asking you to reach a fundraising ‘bail target’ of £500 by the 24^th December in order to get back onto Santa’s Nice List – otherwise it’s a lump of coal for you in your stocking this Christmas!

To help you reach your bail target, we’ll provide you with lots of resources and fundraising top tips!

Christmas Crimes

Are you, or a colleague, guilty of any of the following “offences”?

• Unlawful Carolling Without a Tune Permit (Singing off-key in a designated harmony zone)
• Mince Pie Hoarding (Possession of more than 12 mince pies with intent to distribute)
• Excessive Use of Tinsel in a Public Place (Causing glitter-related distractions or minor sparkle injuries)
• Reckless Reindeer Riding (Operating a reindeer without a sleigh license or festive insurance)
• Elf Impersonation (Wearing pointy shoes and jingling in restricted zones)
• Excessive use of Corporate Speak (e.g. “Circling back” and “Bluesky Thinking”)
• Uncheerful Office Behaviour (e.g. Leaving teaspoons in the sink after preparing their favourite Christmas tea)

Recognise yourself or a colleague in this list? Then sign up below and start to get back in Santa’s good graces. If you raise your ‘bail’ by Christmas, then we’ll put in a good word for you with the big man!

How does it work:

1. Let’s get you behind bars: Send us picture of yourself (or your nominated colleague), so we can put you behind ‘candy canes bars’. You’ll be able to share this with your networks to explain the amazing challenge you are taking on, and to plead for their help to raise your bail and get you back on Santa’s nice list by Christmas!
2. Reveal your Christmas crime: Along with your picture tell us why you are on the naughty list – remember your colleagues can be consulted if you need any help! There’s lots iof examples of Christmassy crimes above to get you started!
3. Set up your Fundraising page: Click here to create your JG page.
4. Get your colleagues on board: Share your crime, picture and fundraising page with colleagues and on LinkedIn. Why not ask for donations towards your bail instead of an office Secret Santa present this year!
5. Share your fundraising page and story with friends and family: You can also post on your personal social media channels.
6. Look out for more hints and tips to fundraise. We will send you more hints and tips for fundraising every week – a bit like a Christmas calendar 😊
7. Once you have reached your bail target, you will receive an official letter that you have been taken off Santa’s naughty list and added to his nice list instead!
