Charity of the year

Unite your staff in supporting a worthy cause and demonstrate your company’s commitment to making a difference by nominating St Helena Hospice as your charity of the year. We will support you in whatever you choose to do. We can help by talking to your staff about the services we provide and explain the difference your fundraising makes.

Sponsor an event or fundraising campaign

Promote your brand and become a corporate sponsor! We have sponsorship opportunities to suit all budgets. 

Event participation and fundraising

St Helena holds a variety of fundraising events throughout the year which you can take part in individually or as a team.   

Fundraise at work

You can also choose to fundraise internally and we can help by providing fundraising packs, St Helena branded items such as collection pots, balloons, bunting, tablecloths and banners, poster templates and our A to Z of fundraising ideas.  

Payroll giving

Your company employees can donate to St Helena regularly via their salary and benefit from tax relief as donations are taken before tax.  It therefore costs them less to give more! 

Host a collection pot and/or donation station

This is a fantastic way to support us all year round.  Hosting a collection pot or donation station enables your staff and customers to easily donate their loose change and unwanted items to St Helena Hospice. 

Corporate volunteering

If you or your staff would like to dedicate some of your corporate volunteering days to St Helena Hospice and build team skills at the same time, you can help us by gardening or undertaking maintenance work at the hospice or by sorting through donations at our donation centre. We also welcome support in our fundraising offices from time to time.

Become a Compassionate Workplace

Is your workplace equipped to support your colleagues when they’re facing some of the toughest times of life?

Compassionate Workplaces training provided by St Helena Hospice provides the practical tools and resources an organisation needs to support their workforce during life’s most difficult moments. It will give your organisation protected time to safely reflect on your own practices and policies relating to staff support, giving you the tools and confidence you need to offer the best support you can to those facing dying, death and bereavement.  These sessions are a safe space for people to share personal experiences of loss or being close to someone experiencing loss and grief.

Why support us? Benefits for you and your staff

Not only will you be supporting a good cause and helping St Helena make a difference to local people facing incurable illness and bereavement but there are also significant benefits to you and your staff.

• Help fulfil your corporate social responsibility (CSR) aspirations and boost your CSR profile and public image. 
• Enhance brand awareness and your corporate reputation.
• Promote and advertise your company - gain public recognition and enhanced customer loyalty/increased sales.
• Gain public recognition for your involvement with a local charity.
• Boost staff morale and motivation.  It can also serve to enhance team skills and promote the feel good factor.

We are always looking for opportunities to work with corporate partners to promote the amazing services St Helena provide across north east Essex.  If you are able to help in any way we would love to hear from you.
