Let's talk about Money

​

In most events we have asked you for teams of two, inviting people in your organisation to take part in events they really like doing the majority in their own time after work. Obviously some employers will contribute, others won't. Its only the social competitive activities that are slightly more expensive than you would normally be charged, £10 per head is to reflect that its part of a year long Series,

​

So, again wanted to bring to your attention the innovative ways this can be reduced down to zero, using existing budgets or by innovative personal fundraising.

Sponsorship including multiplying Social Value Fund

• Supporting good causes with the GB Athletes and helping to add to the £673K they have raised, allows us to give you a healthy participation budget to spend on entry fees throughout 2026.and see at the barest minimum good causes receive 100% of your donated sum. (See www.crowdfunder.co.uk/gbcharitydays or if the examples of this in action still don't compute please email bcs26@partyforthepodium.com to arrange a quick 10 minute call.)

• We have detailed how this can be implemented see Page Two of https://www.bcs26.com/_files/ugd/becb7f_3e9f765ae5cf436391950c776096d006.pdf

Fundraising by team members​

• Series Surcharge of £10 per head on the social competitive activities, is for the elevated purpose of the event as part of Bristol Corporate Slam

• However supporting good causes with the GB Athletes and helping to add to the £673K they have raised, will reduce the entry fee by £1 for every £2.50 raised and see at the barest minimum the good cause receive 100% of your donated sum. (See www.crowdfunder.co.uk/gbcharitydays or if the examples of this in action email bcs26@partyforthepodium.com )

• You can reduce your entry fee down to zero.

• Your supporters will get access to money off offers on sports events, experiences and the regular chance to win amazing social or sporting prizes.

• This all helps propel you up the Social Impact Table, which will be the main award come November 2026.

I don't think any other event in 2026 gives fundraisers and their donors this opportunity, its our way of saying thank you.

NO: AT FIRST JUST ENTER THE SERIES BY 8TH DECEMBER 2025

email bcs26@partyforthepodium.com and then just choose the events that you want to enter when invited to do so.

THIS HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK​

• There will be a minimum of 14 social and sporting events in 2026:

• Corporates will be awarded points per event with 12 points down to 1pt for the leading teams in each event.

• Each teams SIX best Events will be averaged out to create an overall BCS26 Leader Board, with -5 points for any gaps up to the SIX. (i.e. if you do three events your overall total will be deducted -15 points)

• There are bonus Social Impact points for the top three fundraising teams in each BCS26 operated events. .

• Minimum qualification for Leader Boards is to participate in TWO BCS26 operated events.

• In the numerous events where you can put more than one team in, we will carry forward the points of the highest finisher from your organisation.

• Each event will have a few other rules, but worry about that on the day right?

To aid you, please download the Squad Sheet for emails or WhatsApp groups and get people to let you know what events they want to do!

Think of it as any team going to the Olympics different people doing events that they are good at,

The same people don’t have to do each event – it is designed to encourage company wide participation with people choosing the events they want to do.

Yes when you enter your first event you will be asked which category you wish to compete within.

Just choose the Category you wish to enter or identify with

Building & Construction

​If we suddenly get an influx of companies covering stuff we didn't even know existed, then hell we will add another category.

HOW DO THE INDUSTRY LEADERBOARDS WORK?

The overall results feed into the City Leaderboard, from those results we then place you into your Industry Leaderboard.

As an example Tech

They are placed in the Tech Leaderboards
