We are looking forward to our first Jail and Bail fundraising challenge at Worcester’s Guildhall on Friday, 10th May.
Managers from across the county have been nominated by their long-suffering colleagues for various (entirely fictitious) workplace crimes and will soon be chained up as punishment.
On the day, each boss will be ‘taken into custody’ at 10am where their mug shot and finger prints will be taken. Then, they will ‘stand trial’ for their ‘crime’ before being handcuffed for the day.
Each manager will be tasked with raising their own bail money of at least £500. You can help set them free by coming down on the day and making a donation.
Find out who’s taking part – and which horrific misdemeanors they will be punished for below:

Convict Six
Name: Dan Haigh, Finance Manager at St Richard’s Hospice
Crime: Making hospice pens ‘disappear’…
Dan says: “I have been stitched up, the trumped up charge is one of negligence not intent. Having worked for five years at St Richard’s and always having a pen in pocket, a search of my ‘messy draw’ at home resulted in me finding 16 St Richard’s Hospice ballpoints which I tried to return, only to be caught red-handed.”
