WITH just weeks to go before World Cup fever sweeps across Hampshire, companies are being urged to join in the fun.

The Meningitis Trust is encouraging businesses to host football-themed activities to raise funds for the charity and boost staff morale.

The trust has compiled a free fundraising pack crammed full of ideas including testing colleagues' football knowledge with the trust's special World Cup quiz, organising a five-a-side football tournament or raising funds by holding a 'wear your favourite football strip to work' day.

To receive a free World Cup Footy Fundraiser information pack, contact Jane on 01453 769084 or e-mail worldcup@meningitis-trust.org.
