Corporate Supporters

The government's Corporate Social Responsibility policy and website promotes good corporate citizenship and places great importance on the social responsibilities of companies. 

Corporate community involvement is a three-way partnership between an employer, an employee and the community. 

It will bring the following benefits for your company:

•          Demonstrate your Corporate Social Responsibility
•          Increase your profile as a good corporate citizen
•          Fundraising opportunites for employees
•          Team Building opportunites – leading to increased morale
•          Opportunity to generate postive PR
•          Increased brand awareness
•          Networking opportunities

There are a number of ways that you can help make a difference at Alabaré.....

• Employee fundraising

  We are always looking for help with fundraising activities – how about encouraging your colleagues to play a part in our events?  We can offer you ready-to-go events and challenges, PR support to raise your company’s local profile and a sense of achievement and fun for your employees.

• Payroll giving

  Payroll giving is an easy and tax efficient way of giving regularly to Alabaré. Because it is taken from your pay before tax is deducted, the entire pound you pledge will come to us. That's worth 22p more to us - or 40p more if you are a higher rate taxpayer. If you are interested in giving to us this way, please email fundraising@alabare.co.uk for more information.

• Charity of the year

  Does your company have a charity of the year scheme?  Supporting the vital work on Alabaré in your local community by making us your charity of the year can help build the reputation of your company as a good corporate citizen and improve staff morale by working closely with a local regional charity.

• Sponsorship

  If you think your company would be interested in supporting a specific area of our work (including events), please get in touch with the fundraising department on 08450 78 68 08. In return we can offer you promotional opportunities and the chance to be involved in our events.

• Donations in kind

We realise that often it is not possible for companies to make monetary donations to Alabaré.  Donations of products and services which are sometimes easier for companies to give as just as valuable to our charity.  Donations may be practical items for any of our houses or drop in centres, or may be items or services that will help us at our fundraising events. If you have products that would assist our clients or fundraising activities, we would really like to hear from you.  Please call us on 08450 78 68 08 or email fundraising@alabare.co.uk.

• Corporate events

  We host several corporate events throughout the year.  We are always looking for help and support from local businesses – if you think your company would be interested in attending one of our corporate events or getting involved please contact the fundraising department on 08450 78 68 08.

• Gift in shares

  Since the new "Gift-Aid" measures were introduced in April 2000 you can now get extra tax relief by donating shares and securities to charity.  This means that if you donate shares or securities to Alabaré you will be able to claim a deduction in your income for the tax year in which the donation takes place. You can reclaim the tax relief at your top rate of tax on your self-assessment form. Your accountant will be able to provide you with more information. The Inland Revenue's leaflet IR178 will give you more information on donating shares or securities to charity or go to www.hmrc.gov.uk.
