The Fund is an annual initiative which sees teams of fast streamers on the Civil Service Generalist scheme compete to raise the most money for various charities. This year, the Fund participants volunteered 1,390 hours of their time, managing to raise an impressive \u00a3100,833.50 for charities such as Parkinsons UK and CentrePoint. Fundraising activities ranged from art exhibitions to bake sales, fun runs to marathons and even, in the case of Team Kangaroo, a Scottish C\u00e8ilidh dance! You can read Team Kangaroo\u2019s blog<\/a> to find out more about their endeavours. <\/p>\n

After reviewing each team\u2019s charitable activities, the Fast Stream Fund Team eventually agreed on the winners of the 7 team awards and 2 individual awards. The winners were invited to the 2014 Fund Award Ceremony on 15 September at the Emmanuel Centre.

As well as having fun and raising money and awareness for their chosen causes, the Fund also provided the fast streamers with an opportunity to develop as individuals, gaining new skills and a better understanding of the wider responsibilities of the Civil Service and their roles as its future leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
