Last week, as part of our annual Hunter Christmas celebrations, our UK team came together for a festive, fast-paced charity challenge aptly titled ‘Sleigh The Stage’. Combining creativity, teamwork, and a healthy dose of Christmas spirit, the event proved a great way for our Hunter family to come together to celebrate the festive season whilst also giving back to our local community.
The challenge began with just 45 minutes on the clock, as teams raced against time to source as many items as possible from ‘Santa’s Wishlist’. Armed with determination (and a few questionable shopping tactics), participants raced out to gather festive treats and thoughtful gifts before returning to the office to transform their finds into beautifully curated Christmas hampers.
Once the hampers were assembled, the competition moved firmly into game-show territory. Each team was tasked with presenting their hamper to their colleagues in the most imaginative way possible. From energetic performances and festive skits to songs and dances, the presentations showcased an impressive range of creativity and collaboration. A winning team was ultimately crowned based on a combination of quality of hamper, performance, and overall teamwork – and perhaps some dubious dance moves.
At the heart of Sleigh The Stage was an incredibly meaningful cause. All completed hampers were donated to Michael Sobell House, part of Harlington Hospice, whose dedicated teams provide comfort and compassionate care to people and their families during some of life’s most challenging moments. We were honoured to be able to support their work, particularly during the busy Christmas period.
Events like this perfectly reflect what the festive season is all about – coming together, giving back, and making a positive impact where it matters most. We are extremely proud of our Hunter crew for their generosity, creativity, and commitment, and grateful to Michael Sobell House for allowing us to support them and the wonderful work they do.
