Go Yellow at work
Going Yellow at work is simple, and you can be as creative as you like!
- Ask your colleagues to wear a yellow item of clothing to work or while working from home
- Plan other yellow-themed activities for the day - turn your social media yellow for the day, host a lunchtime yellow-themed quiz or hold an office bake sale with yellow cupcakes - the opportunities are endless!
- Fundraise or make a donation to Shine

Victoria Dental Care staff wore yellow and decorated the surgery with yellow balloons, while Fat Sam's Bar and Grill created a special yellow cocktail for a fundraising day, with all proceeds going to Shine!
Inspired? Here are some more fundraising ideas to make your Go Yellow for Shine day more fun:
- Working from home? All wearing yellow is a good way for your colleagues to feel connected, while apart.
- To collect donations online, set up a JustGiving page. It is easy to share with your colleagues by email and all donations are paid directly to Shine.
- Why not add some fun to the day by decorating the office yellow, you could ask colleagues to bake something yellow to sell, or hold a virtual or in-person team building lunch where you can only eat yellow foods!
- Share your photo on social media tagging @ShineUKCharity and using #GoYellowForShine. You could also nominate your friends and family to do the same!
- Ask if your company's social media accounts can be turned yellow for the day?
