Homelessness Link has linked up with comedy TV series Taskmaster for a Christmas fundraising initiative.
The TV show’s online store has created a virtual version of the game for people to play either at home or via Zoom, to adhere to social distancing guidelines this Christmas.
All proceeds will be distributed to homelessness charities via Homeless Link.
Those that donate £10 or more will receive an exclusive digital download video for families and friends to recreate the show and set themselves their own tasks.
The show is now in its tenth series and this year moved from Dave to Channel 4. In each series five comedians are asked to complete often ridiculous tasks, set by co-host Alex Horne and judged by the 'Taskmaster' Greg Davies.
“We have come up with ten tasks, that you can set remotely for your friends and family,” said Horne.
He added: “If you donate £10, or more if you can afford it, you’ll receive an email or text with a link to an exclusive digital download video that’ll guide you through a Taskmaster evening or afternoon with people in your home or via things like Zoom.
“Excitingly, you will be the boss, I will be your assistant, and together we’ll make people you know do things they don’t necessarily want to do. All the proceeds will go to homeless charities across the UK via Homeless Link.”
