A team-wide fitness push, fundraising success and a raffle win – all in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital
This summer, #TeamCisilion laced up their trainers and rallied together to kick off our fundraising efforts for a cause close to our hearts – supporting the incredible work of Great Ormond Street Hospital, our FY26 Charity Partner of the Year.
Through two standout initiatives – the Summer Step Challenge and the Cisilion x GOSH Raffle – we not only got moving but have already made a meaningful impact.
Summer Step Challenge: Every Step Counts
Back for its third year, the Summer Step Challenge saw Cisilion employees across departments and locations join forces in teams of five to compete for the highest step count.
Whether walking through the Surrey Hills, Central London or pacing on holiday abroad, our steppers logged an impressive 17,786,479 steps, covering over 12,573 kilometres.
Participants synced their devices via the Big Team Challenge app, shared photos, and cheered each other on in team chats. The winning team not only earned bragging rights, but we also donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital in their name – proof that a little friendly competition goes a long way! After all that hard work, it was only fitting that they were rewarded with an extra day of AL to rest.
Cisilion x GOSH Raffle: Over 1,000 Tickets Sold!
September brought another wave of generosity with our Cisilion x GOSH Raffle, featuring an exciting lineup of prizes – from tech gadgets and Amazon vouchers to Hotel Chocolat treats and even extra annual leave days.
Tickets were just £5 a strip, and thanks to the overwhelming support from our colleagues, we sold over 1,000 tickets and raised more than £1,200 for GOSH.
Every donation went directly to our Cisilion x GOSH Just Giving Page, helping to fund life-changing care for seriously ill children and their families. The raffle draw on 23 September was a moment of celebration, gratitude, and community spirit.
We’re incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and generosity shown by everyone who participated. These initiatives are more than just fundraising – they’re a reflection of our values, our culture, and our commitment to giving back. Whether you stepped, donated, or cheered from the sidelines, thank you for being part of something special!
Let’s keep the momentum going – more fundraising activities are on the horizon, and we can’t wait to see what we achieve together next.
