It may have been another Friday the 13th, but it was
all fun and games at Paymentshield, as long as you weren’t the one
having their legs waxed of course. This year, four of the male team
members in Customer Services gritted their teeth whilst they were
torn off a strip by a number of wax-happy volunteers.

Across the area people dressed in their PJs,
ran various competitions and tucked into a wide range of sticky
cakes, raising pounds for charity and goodness knows how many extra
‘pounds’ in weight across the business.
Together with the leg waxing sponsorship,
Customer Services raised more than £400 for Comic Relief, as well
as a few smiles and grimaces from the leg-waxing onlookers!

Steve Taylor, putting River Dance to shame.

Another event that no one will forget in a
hurry was Steve Taylor’s Irish jig. He raised £56 for doing his
Irish best – thankfully no River Dance experts were on-hand to
witness and weep at the unique Gaelic extravaganza!
“All in all it was a great day and everyone
enjoyed the in-house entertainment provided by our wacky
colleagues. The whole day raised more than £1,100, including a
Paymentshield company match.” said Christina Mooney, Culture
Manager.
It all goes to show that Paymentshield is off
to a great fundraising start. By the end of last year its staff had
raised £12,000 from more than 25 events, placing Paymentshield in
Towergate’s top 10 for staff fundraising.

“It’s been great fun and we’re hoping that 2009 will continue in
the same spirit,” said Danielle Le Breton, Head of HR and CSR
Programme Manager. “We have an eager Corporate Social
Responsibility Committee ready to deliver a calendar of events,
which we hope everyone will welcome and enjoy.”
