Other ways your Business can support Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
The most beneficial way your business can support the vital work we do is to become a Corporate Member however there are other ways your company can support us. Take a look at the below ideas of ways you can help.
Nominate us as your charity of the year
Many companies nominate a charity annually to support through staff fundraising. Whether you have 10 staff or 1000 staff this is a great way to encourage your team to engage with each other whilst supporting a local charity. Ideas for how you could do this are cake sales, dress down days or maybe some of your staff fancy a challenge of hiking up a mountain or running a sponsored race. Previously we have found that this mutual fundraising technique has boosted morale and staff engagement and gives everyone a sense of satisfaction knowing that the company they work for are in full support of a worthy local charity. If you need some help with how to fundraise you can download our fundraising pack here.
Turn the work you do into good through sales fundraising
If you are a company who has goods to sell, you could make a pledge to donate us a percentage of sales of certain items. Pledging to donate a percentage to us can boost your sales as your customers will also gain from the knowledge that they are contributing to a worthy cause.
Sponsor a project or location
The work we do here is continuous and we are constantly on the go with various projects and tasks. If you would like to get in touch to see which new projects are happening locally to you that you could support, please do get in touch.
