How can we get involved?
There are a number of ways your organisation can partner with us.
Choose Age UK Lancashire as your Charity of the Year
Please consider choosing Age UK Lancashire as your business Charity of the Year. In return, we would offer joint branding on our fundraising materials and our events, as well as positive PR and local media coverage.
Sponsor one of our events
Your staff could get involved in our events throughout the year, such as our annual Canoe Challenge and Breakout. Why not get involved in the Great North Run with us too? By sponsoring an event you help us with the costs, for example, food and decorations, and in return get some great PR and local media coverage.
Display a collection tin
Could you display a collection tin in your office or shop? This would help us to collect much-needed donations to continue our vital work in Lancashire.
Donate a raffle prize or service
Could you donate a prize for one of our many fundraising raffles and competitions - perhaps a bottle of wine, box of chocolates or biscuits, bath goodies, gift vouchers, or free services?
Donate equipment
If you would like to donate a piece of equipment, we would be very grateful. We usually need raiser chairs for people in our day centre, kitchen equipment for our lunch clubs, and computer equipment for our staff.
Send employees to volunteer
Could you send a team to help out at an event or activity? It's a great way for staff to bond by working together to help vulnerable older people. Previous staff teams have served Christmas lunches, painted our day centre, revamped our garden and helped in our shops.
Run a fundraising event
Your employees could run their own fundraiser to help raise vital funds for our work. They could do a cake sale, dress down day, a sponsored walk or run, or a raffle. There are so many things they could do - contact us for more ideas!
Host a Donation Station at your workplace
We’re seeking local businesses to sign up to our new donation scheme called the ‘Donation Station’.
It’s free to be part of - simply registers your interest, select a specific day, week or month and get your whole workplace involved by asking them to put their unwanted items to better use.
