Are you interested in corporate partnerships? Do you work for someone who would like to support a charity as part of their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy?
We rely on donations to continue to provide our free services to people living across Surrey with terminal illnesses. There are many ways that your business or company can support us, such as making us your Charity of the Year or hosting a fundraising event. Encourage your staff to volunteer with us or visit our dedicated page to donate.
By choosing us as your Charity of the Year, we can work together to build a bespoke calendar of engaging fundraising activities for your employees. We’d love you to nominate The Brigitte Trust as Charity of the Year to your charity champions, senior managers and HR team. If you’d like advice on how to do this, email our team and we’ll give you some help.
Fundraising together with your colleagues is another great way to support our cause. From sponsored treks to organising an in-house bake-off, you choose the challenge and we’ll be there to support you with advice, fundraising ideas and promotional materials.
Many larger companies offer match funding opportunities if their employees are fundraising for a registered charity (our UK Charity number is 288923), so it’s always worth asking.
Payroll Giving is a great way for employees to make monthly donations to charity, straight from their salary, before tax is deducted. It’s easy for employers to set up and shows strong charitable support.
Another option is for your company to sponsor an event or service. For example, you could sponsor Coffin Club Surrey, a Bereavement Support group, a volunteer training course, or a Death Café.
If any members of staff are interested in becoming a Home Visiting Volunteer and have 3 hours available to spare each week, we’d love to hear from you.
Supporting our work by donating products, services or professional advice is a fantastic way for us to keep our overhead costs down and enables us to spend more money directly on supporting people with terminal illnesses. It’s also a great way for you to utilise your corporate assets and skills for the benefit of a great cause; e.g. printing, offering a meeting room, or designing cards.
Depending on the degree of support offered, we can provide excellent branding and publicity through press reports, participant and donor communications, and social media shout-outs. Contact us to discuss how we can work together by emailing promotions@brigittetrust.com.
