Support from companies is vital for us to continue our work. We understand that every company is different, and we aim to develop a partnership that is right for you and beneficial for the people that we work with. Our partnership could include fundraising, volunteering, supporting our events, making us your charity of choice, payroll giving or donating a gift in kind.
The benefits to you include:
Join an event
Involve your staff
Charity of choice
Sponsorship opportunities
Gifts in kind

We have created a varied events programme, with a number of events specifically aimed at companies. Aside from being a great opportunity for your staff to enjoy (or challenge) themselves, they can be great team building and networking opportunities, whilst also supporting our work.
We have a variety of events throughout the year, including dinners, firewalks, golf days, a leadership workshop, a skydive and sponsored walks. Please contact us to find out more.
Staff fundraising can be a great for team building, motivating staff and developing skills. For the more adventurous, we offer a range of challenge events. We are more than happy to support and advise you and your staff on your own fundraising endeavours and events, whether they be large or small. Please do get in touch! If you're looking for inspiration, check out our A-Z of fundraising ideas.
Staff can also support us through volunteering - we have a range of opportunities for staff to use their skills, individually or in groups. Please email volunteering@papworth.org.uk to find out more.
If your company is set up for payroll giving, perhaps staff would consider supporting our work that way.
By recognising Papworth Trust as your 'Charity of Choice', we can maximise the benefits of a partnership, by inspiring staff to get involved and providing a focus for activities. Several organisations have chosen to do this, including the Environment Agency and Taylor Vinters.
We have a range of sponsorship opportunities, from being the headline sponsor at a corporate dinner or major fundraising event, to sponsoring a hole at one of our golf days. In addition to sponsoring an event, there are other opportunities, such as sponsoring one (or a fleet) of our vans - which could act at moving adverts for your goods or services.
To discuss your sponsorship requirements, or for an overview of current opportunities, please contact us.
Another way you could support us is through a gift in kind - donating an item or service that we would otherwise have had to buy. This could be donating equipment for a gardening project, loaning office space or providing pro bono support. We'd love to hear from you if you'd like to help us in this way - please contact us.
If you would like to find out more about supporting our work through your company, please contact the Fundraising team by email at fundraising@papworth.org.uk or by phone on 01480 357267.
