CASCAID walking through the night for Cancer Research UK

CASCAID bring together companies from the asset management community to raise money for charity. They approached Skyline to put together a unique walk to raise money for Cancer Research UK, whom CASCAID had been supporting across 2017.

This event saw fund managers and CEOs walking alongside colleagues from the sales and marketing teams, all coming together to enjoy the bonding experience of walking through London at night – taking in many of the capital’s top sites across the 13-mile walk. This event contributed to CASCAID exceeding their target of £1 million in fundraising for Cancer Research UK as well as bringing a diverse team together.

Our fast-paced city events with Shelter

Skyline has organised and overseen a range of events for Shelter which have been ideal for corporate groups. In 2015, we were appointed by Shelter to organise their first bespoke running event, which took place in 2016 – a 15 mile Urban Rush beginning at the Olympic Stadium in East London and culminating in Fulham, West London. The following year, we were appointed by Shelter to take over the organisation of their flagship Vertical Rush event at Tower 42, one of the tallest towers in the City of London. Skyline would take charge of the Vertical Rush event in its eighth year, which saw over 1000 people climb forty-two floors to take in the tower’s amazing views of the city. Both events were fast-paced, busy days for which our management team was praised.

Bringing Talisker together on the Isle of Skye

The Woodland Trust, in partnership with Diageo’s celebrated single malt whisky brand Talisker, contacted Skyline to create a competitive team fundraising event for two hundred teams over one weekend on the Isle of Skye – home of Talisker. The event emphasised team building and pulling together, and brought together patrons, suppliers and celebrities including Sir Ranulph Fiennes and the rugby players Martin Bayfield and Dean Richard.

We were responsible for all elements of the organisation from sourcing a suitable site – bringing and building all of the infrastructure to a remote location and providing marquees, bar, catering and equipment for the weekend. Our dedicated event team managed all tasks ensuring seamless execution. The event turned out as a real success and was re-commissioned for the following year.

Celebrating 350 years of Saint Gobain with a bespoke cycle

In 2015, Skyline was asked to craft a bespoke cycle event for Saint Gobain to tie in with the company’s 350^th anniversary celebrations. We created a long-distance cycle event from London to Blois – the head office for the company – for some 130 cyclists made up of Saint Gobain staff and their contractors.

This was a demanding, four-day challenge which engaged staff from all over the UK, fundraising for Saint Gobain’s charity of the year – MacMillan – raising over £100,000. We delivered a successful event which helped boost the profile of the company whilst doing excellent work for charity.

Cycling through Europe for London City Airport

In 2016, we were approached by London City Airport who commissioned us to deliver a two day cycle ride for their staff and suppliers – raising money for their chosen charity, which was Richard House Children’s Hospice. We organised a cycle for 35 participants from London to Lille – starting at the airport itself and taking in nearly 200 miles.
The event was promptly re-commissioned, and in 2017 we took even more participants from London City Airport to Amsterdam, furthering London City Airport’s commitment to raising crucial income for Richard House Children’s Hospice.

A night walk for the Hargreaves Lansdown Charitable Foundation

In 2017, we were approached by Hargreaves Lansdown Charitable Foundation – who is the charitable arm of investment company the Hargreaves Lansdown – to organise a 10-mile walk through Bristol for their first fundraising event.

This event saw hundreds of participants donning their neon for an evening that was crafted to the specification of Hargreaves Lansdown – that meant live entertainment in Bristol’s iconic Lloyds Amphitheatre, and ensuring that the route culminated in a crossing of Clifton suspension bridge.
