Offset Your Naughty’s

Offset your Naughty’s is a fun way to bring the family together, team build within the office and in turn possibly change the lives of people in need in Cornwall today.

The premise is similar to the classic idea of a ‘swear jar’; where every time you swear you have to pay a small penalty into the jar, except it’s slightly different in that every time you’re ‘naughty’ (i.e. don’t stick to your diet, have a cigarette, skip the gym) you have to pay a penalty into a ‘jar’, which is then collected at the end of the day/week/month and donated to Cornwall Community Foundation. The ‘jar’ is not important and we encourage re-using something like a chocolate tin or a coffee jar and decorating it yourself.

You don’t have to be on a diet or stopping smoking to Offset Your Naughty’s, you and your colleagues or family can offset your general Naughty’s. For example parents could be fined for picking up the children in their slippers or getting up late on the weekend. In the office you could be fined for wearing trainers, being on facebook, bad parking or wearing a dodgy tie.
