Do your own
Why not get creative and create your own virtual event!
Some ideas for this could be:
A quiz night – get your friends and family together to test their knowledge and to raise funds for PAPYRUS. Find our downloadable quiz template here
Live stream songs – do you have a musical talent? Why not use this to put on a show for your social media friends!
Dress up work meetings – why not have a bit of fun and set a theme for your work meetings
Walk a certain distance – why not set an amount of miles your colleagues or friends need to complete as a team
