Nimble Media is incredibly proud to have taken part in The Franklins £50 Challenge, turning an initial £50 investment into an incredible £1,567.50 for The Arthur Ellis Mental Health Foundation.

The challenge encouraged businesses to take £50 and use their creativity to raise as much money as possible for charity. For our team, it was the perfect opportunity to do what we love: come up with an idea, bring people together and create something memorable.

From £50 to a Night of Drag Karaoke

With just £50 to get started, the Nimble Media team set out to create a fundraising event that would raise as much money as possible while also being a brilliant night for everyone involved.

The result was Drag Karaoke at The Fox Rutland on Wednesday 22 April, hosted by the fabulous Gladys Carpet-Bowles.

With plenty of energy, humour and unforgettable moments, the evening brought together friends, colleagues, clients and supporters for a night of music, laughter and some truly memorable performances.

Most importantly, everyone came together to support an incredibly important cause.

Turning Creativity into £1,567.50

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, donated and supported the event, our original £50 was transformed into an incredible £1,567.50 for The Arthur Ellis Mental Health Foundation.

The funds will help support the Foundation's vital work with children and young people, making the challenge about much more than simply raising money.

For us, it demonstrated what can happen when you combine a small starting point with a creative idea, a great team and a community willing to get behind it.

An Award-Winning Fundraising Idea

There was another fantastic surprise to come.

At The Franklins £50 Challenge awards ceremony, Nimble Media was delighted to receive the Most Creative Fundraising Idea Award for our Drag Karaoke event.

We were particularly proud to receive this recognition because creativity is at the heart of what we do at Nimble Media.

From marketing campaigns and content creation to events, branding and digital marketing, we believe the best ideas are the ones that capture people's attention and bring people together.

But while winning the award was a fantastic achievement, the biggest success was what that creativity helped us accomplish: bringing people together, raising awareness and generating much-needed funds for an important cause.

Thank You

A huge thank you to The Fox Rutland, Gladys Carpet-Bowles, Franklins and every single person who attended, donated, performed or supported the event.

You helped us turn £50, a slightly bonkers idea and a lot of enthusiasm into £1,567.50 for a fantastic cause.

We couldn't be prouder of what the team achieved and are incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part.

Now that's a challenge worth celebrating.
