National President, Jan Mulqueen, is supporting Help for Heroes and has devised the pyramid lunch (or dinner) as a way of raising funds. If a full pyramid is completed it will raise £1625 for the charity so have a go and see how far you can get towards this target.

This is the way it works. One person invites 5 others to lunch and asks for a contribution of £5 from each person for Help for Heroes.

Then those 5 people then invite 4 other people to their own lunch and again a £5 contribution to the charity is collected from each person.

Now each of the 20 people now involved invite 3 people to lunch again with the £5 contribution.So now there are 60 people involved who then invite 2 people each to their lunch and finally those 120 invite just one person to their lunch. All these people contribute £5 for the charity.

Now to add up the total numbers in the pyramid:

First Lunch – 5 people
Second Lunches – 5 x 4 = 20 people
Third Lunches – 20 x 3 = 60 people
Fourth Lunches – 60 x 2 = 120 people
Fifth Lunches – 120 x 1 = 120 people

Total 325 people involved each paying £5 = £1625

You can invite anyone to the lunches. They don’t have to be Tangent members
as long as they are prepared to contribute £5 and then host their own lunch.

Proceeds from each lunch can be banked individually, quoting Tangent, to:
