Charity Events
Come on Barbie lets go party!!
On 28th October Travel 2 transformed their Glasgow office into a Barbie and Ken extravaganza in order to raise money for Just a Drop. The office embraced the day by dressing up as their favourite Barbie or Ken character, and competing in ‘Barbie v Ken’ challenges throughout the day!
Each team planned different events throughout the office including several stalls, raffles and then a drinks night sponsored by Palace Resorts and Anantara.
Some decided to show off their cooking skills and create a variety of food from hearty breakfasts to delicious cupcakes, while others offered prizes from stalls such as tombola and ‘Name the Barbie’. However the grand prizes had to be a pair of return flights with Virgin Atlantic which were won during a raffle at the end of the event, and also a draw during the drinks night for 7 nights stays in both Cancun and Thailand!
Overall, Travel 2 raised over £1,400 for Just a Drop, ensuring the event was not only fun, but helped to make a difference to the lives of children throughout the world.

The Golf Day!
Undaunted by some inclement weather over 120 travel industry golfers took to the fairways at Dale Hill in East Sussex for the annual Just A Drop Charity Golf Day. The event sponsored for the 7th consecutive year by Jetset has established itself as the best supported golf day in the UK travel trade. The less than kind weather however did nothing to dampen the spirits of the golfers who after being entertained by guest speaker Ian Richards generously raised over 11.5k at the annual golf day charity auction. Thanks to all the golfers, the hole sponsors, Jestet and all of the companies who donated some fantastic prizes for auction. The 9th annual Just A Drop Charity Golf Day will be returning to Dale Hill on Wednesday 5 September. For more information please contact Giles Harper giles.harper@kingley.co.uk

After the talk, he was presented with a cheque for £54.28, which was the result of a fundraising event held at Christmas.

Commenting on the new partnership Yolanda Fletcher said: “For the past ten years that I have been working in destination marketing, I have supported Just a Drop through the Visit USA Association and industry events, such as World Travel Market, but I thought that to make a real difference this year I wanted to push my boundaries to do something challenging that will raise even more money for such a worthwhile cause.” In addition, all the staff at Cellet has purchased the exclusive Just a Drop pedometer that they wore on a daily basis at WTM to highlight the charity’s saying that ‘each step walked reduces child mortality caused by unsafe water’. Cellet will also be actively promoting the work of Just a Drop to its US clients and industry contacts to support the company in raising money for the worthwhile cause.
