Supporting our work can be fun and rewarding for your staff and also bring real benefits in terms of raising awareness of your company as one which supports its local community. Your much needed donations, fundraising and other support will stay within the North West region and make a real difference to people in Merseyside and Cheshire. So, however large or small your company is, you could help us continue our vital research by participating in some of the suggestions listed below:
Make Clatterbridge Cancer Research your Charity of the Year – nominate us as your chosen charity and we will work with you to develop an exciting and highly bespoke partnership which fits your strategic and Corporate Social Responsibility aims, inspires your employees and engages your customers.
Make a company donation – we are always striving to cut costs so that we can ensure that funds raised are spent directly on research. We welcome companies who are willing to help us achieve this by donating gifts in kind. Maybe one of the following ideas would appeal to your company?
- Donate resource – we could possibly benefit from the services your company offers and the many skill sets within your company whilst giving your employees the opportunity to experience working for a local charity
- Donate a venue – as part of our major events programme, we are always looking for interesting venues to host our events which are attended by individuals and businesses from across Merseyside and Cheshire. Venues such as galleries, conference spaces, restaurants and auditoriums would be welcome donations and therefore significantly reduce our costs whilst raising awareness of your work and showcasing your venue
- Donate auction and raffle prizes – this is a simple but effective way to support Clatterbridge Cancer Research and help us to raise money
- Donate money – your company can make a direct cash donation which we would acknowledge in a mutually agreeable way i.e. coverage in local press or support coverage in your industry related communications.
Team building and relationship building events – you could complete one of our challenge events for your next team day, or reward your staff and thank your clients by inviting them to one of our glamorous balls or prestigious golf days.
Sponsorship opportunities – we can offer you great sponsorship packages at one of our high profile events, working closely with you to ensure that your sponsorship generates maximum awareness within your target market and offers you a high level of return on investment.
Fundraising at work – you could hold your own event in the office or place of work, perhaps hold a promise auction, a cake bake, a fancy dress Friday or simply ask colleagues to pay to park in your staff car park for one day. We have plenty of ideas to get you started and will support you along the way!
Payroll Giving – also known as Give As You Earn, is a HM Revenue & Customs scheme that enables employees to donate tax free through their pay to their chosen charity. Setting up a scheme is easy and the costs are minimal. Follow this link to our Give As You Earn page.
