Companies
Forming a corporate partnership with Coram helps your company achieve its business goals while making a real impact on our work with vulnerable children and young people. Get in touch with the team at corporate@coram.org.uk to find out more.
Achieve Corporate Responsibility objectives: Our dedicated Corporate Partnerships Team will work with you to develop a successful corporate-charity partnership to achieve your company’s objectives.
National reach, local impact: We can help you support programmes for children and young people in your community.
Support the most vulnerable: We work with children and young people who have faced the toughest start in life. You can help us to help those in greatest need.
Impact: Coram’s size means your donation will make a huge difference to our work and to the children we work with. Ninety pence of every pound we raise goes directly to our projects. This is among the highest in the sector.
Employee engagement: By involving your employees in a partnership with Coram, you can develop team-working skills aid recruitment and retention.
There are a variety of ways for your company to get involved:
Direct Project Support – We’ll work with you to identify a project for your company to invest in and to outline the impact this will have. You’ll receive progress reports to demonstrate the difference your investment is making.
Commercial partnerships – According to Business in the Community, 81% of people are more likely to buy a product associated with a cause they care about. We can offer your company a way to differentiate your product from your competitors while supporting vulnerable children.
Employee fundraising – From apprentice style challenges to rock concerts to national quiz tournaments we support companies in organising events their employees are proud to take part in.
Charity of the Year – These are often initiated by an employee from within a company so if your company has a Charity of the Year, please consider nominating Coram.
Volunteering – Teams of staff can volunteer for Coram by helping with gardening or painting or by working more directly with us. Volunteering is great for team building and gaining insight into the projects your company supports.
Event sponsorship – Coram hosts a range of exciting events throughout the year. Your company can receive tailored benefits to promote your support.
Payroll giving – One of the most tax efficient ways of giving. If your employee is a basic rate taxpayer, a gift of £5 actually only costs them £4. Many corporate partners generously choose to match their employees’ donations.
Gifts in Kind – We have a list of good quality items we need at any one time, including products such as computers, paint and furniture. We also welcome donations of venues for our events/meetings.
Pro-bono support/secondments – If your company has expertise you think Coram could benefit from, or you could offer employees a secondment at Coram, please get in touch.
Increasing awareness of Coram’s work– We’re keen for as many people as possible to see the Coram logo and understand our role in helping vulnerable children in London and across the UK.
