Amazing technicolour coat

Each year, Capita's actuarial team based in Cheltenham takes part in a volunteering challenge, in partnership with a client's community trust. It involves a summer of fundraising and fun charity events, culminating in a full day supporting a worthy cause in the local community.

This year, the £1,300 raised went towards painting and decorating a local infant school's fence and play area. The day was a great success, with most of the team coming along and getting their hands dirty, or at least covered in paint.

Head of actuarial, Scott Ferris, said: "These events are great for boosting morale as well as teambuilding. They provide an opportunity for everyone to make a positive impact in the community where they are working, while also having time to chat and have some fun.

A lot of people have joined the team in the last year, so it gave everyone the chance to get to know each other better outside the office environment. The community challenge events are always a big hit. Being able to step back after a full day of hard work and see the impact you have had as a team is very satisfying.

The school's head teacher said that the finished result was "magnificent" and that the children would be "over the moon!" The team hopes to do something similar again next year.
