#YouCan Be a Corporate Impact Partner
As a local charity, we love working with local businesses to create local impact. We understand that every business is unique, which is why we take a flexible approach to working with corporate partners.
The relationships we build are about more than just money. There are a range of ways you and your business can support us, whilst helping achieve your CSR and ESG goals as a business.
Charity of the Year
By choosing us as your charity of the year you are showing you believe in our work and want to actively support us through fundraising and other activities. We can help engage staff and support with ideas and resources, and you could support our work as a whole or one of our specific charitable projects or another aspect of our work.
Sponsorship
You could sponsor an element of our work such as one of concert tickets and transport for families who have difficulty attending, our community-based choir sessions or other charitable activities, in turn boosting your employee and client networking opportunities. Do you offer matched funding for employees who do their own fundraising? Take a look at charitable projects or another aspect of our work.
Affinity Marketing
By becoming an Affinity Partner we can work together within our networks, online presence and other opportunities to support each other to raise one another’s profiles. There are various ways to become an affinity partner, including commissions, discounts or in-kind donations. See our current partners.
Payroll Giving
By offering payroll giving to your employees you are enabling them to support SFE directly, at no cost to your business. It’s quick and simple to set up and means that an automatic monthly donation comes to us straight from their salary and best of all, tax is deducted.

One-Off Donations
Perhaps you have a fundraising event coming up or would just like to make a charitable donation as part of your business’s charitable giving.
These donations mean as much to us as regular donations and help us have the reach and impact we do.
Gifts In Kind
Could you donate something to support our fundraising efforts such as a raffle prize or event venue? Or perhaps you could support and area of our work through providing volunteering time, Team SFE participants, promotional materials, transport.
