The relationships the Trust has built with companies and corporate partners have changed the lives of hundreds of young people living through and beyond cancer. How could your workplace make a difference?
However big or small the company, adopt the Trust as your ‘Charity of the Year’ and you and your colleagues can do something life-changing to inspire more young people to believe in a brighter future living through beyond cancer.
Organise events – raffles, quizzes, bake sales, benefit dinners, sponsored cycles, walks, fun runs, treat amnesties, make the boss dress up, whatever it might be make sure there are lots of them! Doing fun stuff with workmates never feels like an effort, and bosses love things that help colleagues bond as a team.
Donate goods and services – is yours a company where the Trust could really benefit from what you do? It might be something that would make a real difference on trips? Or possibly something that helps operationally in Cowes or Largs?
If your company supports ‘Match Funding’ this can double all your fundraising efforts too. The most common type of match funding is 1:1, which simply means for every £1 that is raised, your company gives a further £1 to the cause.
Long-term corporate partnerships enable the Trust to set ambitious targets and plan ahead with confidence knowing the support is there to fulfill these. In return, Trust events and media exposure give companies a platform to reach and engage with new audiences and to promote their relationship with the Trust.
For everything your company and staff do to support young people in recovery during the year, we can provide opportunities for a number of employees to join a trip to see first-hand the impact your efforts are having on so many young lives. We are always very grateful for new ideas and inspiration from potential corporate partners.
'Bigger Impact, Brighter Futures' lays out our three-year Ambitions to be even more accessible and inclusive to all young people who have a cancer diagnosis in the UK and ensure every young person we supports experiences belonging and improved mental wellbeing with the Trust.
