From over 10,000 people he successfully made the final three. Now he has decided to make a difference and give away his £65,000 prize winnings to help 1,000 people with £65 each.

However, you cannot ask for money to help yourself or support other charity fundraising, religious or political activities. This blog is about challenging you to use your thinking skills to make a positive difference, preferably sustainable, and help others to "Pay It Forward". What difference could you make?

£65 for Christmas

I received news last week from one of the Everards Brewery teams who had used £65 to buy a Leicester Tigers Rugby Shirt and get it signed by the players. This was then auctioned for £500 which will provide 12 elderly couples and carers with a 3 course Christmas meal and Christmas gift. £100 will be donated to a multiple sclerosis charity and the original £65 will be given to another team in the business to make another difference.

Well done for demonstrating the difference that can be made with a little effort and teamwork.



What difference could you make with £65 to bring some Christmas cheer into the lives of others?

Hi Andy, I'm not after £65, I just wanted to say thanks for the great podcasts that you and Richard put together.
Your podcast on commiting to goals led me to put a health and fitness commitment of losing 4st this year on my PD plan at work this year. Not enough, though, I am now on Blogspot (reallyfatbloke) where I have made a promise to write down everything I eat or drink in 2008.
I've sent the £65 challenge to my team as a test of their creativity.
Thanks again
