Britain's Biggest Breakfast

BRITAIN’S BIGGEST 7 - 11 March

See how much you can raise this March!

About Britain’s Biggest Breakfast Britain’s Biggest Breakfast is an initiative from our charity partner Cancer Research UK. During the week of 7-11 March the aim is to highlight the importance of breakfast, have a bit of fun and encourage people to help us beat cancer sooner.

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day Apart from providing us with energy, breakfast foods are great at helping us switch on, be more productive and of course look and feel good.

So however you like your breakfast – porridge or pastries, at home, work or on the train, join us this March as we shout about the importance of breakfast with special breakfast promotions, fun and games, and of course fundraising activities.

Cancer Research UK’s research has saved millions of lives by discovering new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. One day everyone will beat cancer, the more funds we raise and the more research Cancer Research UK do, the sooner that day will come.

Activities for We want your Britain’s Biggest Breakfast week to be as fun and action packed as possible. Here are some top ideas for you to try in your unit or area of the business.

Note these are just some suggestions to get you started. Feel free to go as big and creative as your team likes and remember to make full use of the support available.

Idea #1: Count the Cornflakes

Fill a jar with cornflakes and ask people to donate ÂŁ1 to guess how many are in there with the winner receiving a prize. Easy-peasy!

Idea #2: Pancake Toss

Round up a couple of customers to take part in a pancake toss.

Putting two opponents against one another, have them take turns tossing a pancake. The person who completes the most tosses without dropping the pancake wins.

Encourage colleagues and spectators to bet on a winner or donate to show their support.

Idea #3: Service!

Sponsor your boss to serve the breakfast to customers for the week. If donations hit a fundraising goal then why not raise the stakes for them to serve up in fancy dress?!

you to try...

Idea #4: Get creative and start a conversation

Invite customers to get creative with their breakfast choices for the week – why not try something new, maybe one of our promotions, or customise a dish in a unique way. Get sharing what works (and what doesn’t!) online with others using social media (see the back page of this booklet for ​handles and hashtags).

Idea #5: Omelette Challenge

Are your customer’s competitive? If so, start a weekly omelette challenge for the quickest cooked whole omelette. Entrants need to donate £2 to participate with the winner being crowned the Omelette King or Queen at the end of the week!

Idea #6: Paddles ready

Ask your unit to donate a voucher for a fancy brunch and auction it off to the highest bidder.

Together we can make a difference!

If every Compass unit is able to raise £50 over the week of 7-11 March, together we’ll be making a massive difference in the fight against cancer.
