Commercial refrigeration company Husky Group is offering £10,000 to the individual
or group who can convince them they are the most likely to be able to turn that 
into £100,000 for charity.
After many years of donating fixed amounts to charity
the Leicestershire-based company decided to look for ideas to turn one fairly small
sum into a much bigger one.

Our aim is to turn £10,000 into at least £100,000″, said Geoff Thomasson, MD of 
Husky Group. “An individual or a group can use this £10,000 to get their charity
event off the ground, produce sponsorship forms, pay for equipment or flights and
also publicise their event.”

Husky have called the offer ‘One Big Charity’. “It does not matter how wacky the
idea seems,” added Thomasson, “or whether the application is from an individual 
or a group. The winning idea will be the one with the most potential to turn £10,000
into a much bigger sum.”

If more than one winning idea is received, then Husky reserve the right to split
the £10,000 as appropriate. Thomasson added: “I want to stress that no costs incurred
by Husky will be deducted from this amount.”
