Story

Duane is going to spray his hair green and orange if we raise £250 for Age Concern!

Meet Duane, account manager extraordinaire and also renowned around the office for loving his hair, which is why his team mates (we'll explain below) challenged him to spray his beloved curls green and orange for charity!

So why are we doing this?

A few days ago, the Gumtree team was was split into groups and given £250 to buy items on Gumtree to see who could come up with the best. Our team thought we'd flip the brief a little and post an ad instead and see if we could raise £250 for charity, and match it with our £250 if we get there! We may not win the challenge but hey, we'll raise £500 for charity instead and maybe get a special mention for creativity!

So please donate what you can and help us get to £250 at which point your donation will essentially be doubled by Gumtree and Duane will get his hair sprayed! And we promised to take a video and publish it on Gumtree!
