Did you know Children’s Heart Surgery Fund work with businesses of all sizes across the Yorkshire, The Humber, N.E Lincolnshire and North Derbyshire?
We are always looking to make new business connections and you could help us!
Does your workplace have a charity of the year staff vote? Why not tell them about your connection to Children’s Heart Surgery Fund and ask if we could be put forward for the selection process?
Last year we secured two new corporate partnerships which were hugely successful and raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund. In both of these companies a few of their employees had a personal connection to our charity and we thoroughly enjoyed working with their employees, witnessing their fundraising activities flourish throughout the year.
We were also told by staff at these businesses that fundraising for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund had enhanced their employee engagement as they enjoyed taking part in team fundraising activities and working towards a shared goal.
Watch this short video to find out what some of our corporate partners say about us…
“The reason why I think this particular Alchemist has done one of the best out of all of the Alchemists in the UK is, one the charity, itself got very much involved, coming into the venue to meet the staff, which meant our they could get really involved and they could see exactly what they were supporting, which I know the team really enjoyed.”
“The support we have received has been invaluable, nothing’s ever too much trouble. They are a very friendly team. A lot of guests got involved with our fundraising event and they were engaged.”
“CHSF is a great charity, not just for what they help support, but in the way they are set up to deal with corporate organisations so we can maximise the funds raised for good causes. The support we received from CHSF, coming up with ideas, providing volunteering opportunities has been great for the team.”
Could your workplace be our next corporate partner?
We’d love to hear from you if you and your family and friends have business connections to share with us. Email us at corporate@chsf.org.uk
