Sky employees recently set a new Guinness World Record title for the most people wrapping presents simultaneously (multiple venues), with 2050 Sky team members participating in the Big Sky Cares Wrapathon event across Europe.
Each member helped with wrapping gifts including toys, books and puzzles in a bid to provide gifts to charity partners supporting those in need this Christmas.
Sky Sports News presenter Bela Shah and host of the Guinness World Records children show Officially Amazing, Ben Shires hosted the Big Sky Cares Wrapathon at Sky’s HQ in London with special guests including Sky Sports presenters Jamie Weir and Jo Wilson.
Volunteers from charity partners such as The King’s Trust, NSPCC, Multibank and Solidarity Sports were also on hand to help mark the achievement.
The challenge comes as Sky’s volunteering programme, Sky Cares, continues its commitment to support communities in which Sky’s customers and employees live and work.
With a wide range of initiatives set this December, Sky Cares will be donating over 6,000 gifts this holiday season while staff from Sky’s Customer Service Group will be volunteering to help host 48 festive tea parties and lunches for older people, helping to combat loneliness.
