Fundraising - Corporate Partnerships

Age UK Northumberland makes a good corporate charity partnership because we are:

An important cause

We know that charities such as ourselves, working with older people, are often not as popular a choice as charities that are health related or those that provide services to children.  However, we firmly believe, that a society that cares about and cares for its older people is a civilised society and we hope that your organisation agrees that our cause is one well worth supporting.

A cause that will affect everyone

Old age will have an impact on all of us – through growing older ourselves but also through the experience of support our parents and other relatives as they age.  Our cause will always be topical, relevant and far-reaching.

A local focus

Age UK Northumberland provides services across the whole of the county.  We are an independent local charity, driven by local need and committed to ensuring that older people in Northumberland receive the support and assistance they need to ensure quality of life.

A well-known charity brand

Age UK Northumberland is a member of Age UK which is a well-established and highly recognisable brand both nationally and locally.  We believe that it brings with it a number of positive connotations including reliability, trust and compassion.

A personal touch

As a local charity we are committed to ensuring personal and mutually beneficial relationships with all our supporters – both individual and corporate alike.

A long-term friendship

There are many ways we could work together and we are happy to establish both short and long-term partnerships.

Ways we can work together

Charity of the Year

As your Charity of the Year we will work closely with you to engage your staff in our work, plan events and activities, make partnerships as enjoyable as possible and assist in your Corporate Social Responsibility commitments.  We would endeavour to create a relationship that would continue long after the year ends.

Employee fundraising

Fundraising for a charity offers your staff the opportunity to learn and develop new skills while having some fun and supporting a local charity.  We run a number of fundraising initiatives throughout the year which are ideal for companies who like to give their employees the chance to fundraise.  We can develop opportunities that are tailored to you and the personal development of your staff.

Payroll Giving

You might like to consider offering your staff a Payroll Giving Scheme.  We can support you in setting up the scheme if you don’t already have one in place.  Payroll Giving is a simple and tax effective way for individual staff members to make a regular charitable donation with donations taken directly from the employee’s gross salary.

Corporate Volunteering Opportunities

Many of our services rely on the hard work and dedication shown by our volunteers.  We know that our volunteers also gain many benefits from being a volunteer.  We provide a wide range of opportunities for employees who may wish to consider volunteering.

Sponsorship

We have a wide range of current projects and projects in development that could offer great corporate sponsorship opportunities.
