Working together
We understand that every business is unique and has different reasons for choosing to support a charity. We will work closely with you to tailor a partnership that is mutually beneficial and right for you. We can provide ideas, support, encouragement and inspiration every step of the way.
We have over 300 sites, across Hampshire who serve a population of around 1.5million people, with care available for every stage of their lives.
You can support any area of the Trust which you feel best represents your business.
How we can work together:
Charity of the Year
If your business chooses to dedicate fundraising activities to a different cause each year, then we’d love you to nominate brighterway Charity. Together we could make a real difference to your local NHS.
Employee Fundraising
You and your colleagues could take part in a number of exciting challenges together, helping to boost team morale, or even capitalise on those competitive streaks! Or perhaps you could hold a bake sale or lunch time quiz, or organise a bowling night or a climbing event?
Whatever you have planned, we have a range of fundraising materials available to support your fundraising activities.
Sponsorship
There are a number of opportunities for your business to sponsor; including our charity led events and campaigns, helping maximise your brand exposure and boosting your business presence in the local community, whilst helping us cover the costs of hosting these popular annual events.
Company donations
If you are looking for a good cause to benefit from a charitable donation from your company then we would love to hear from you. We will discuss your particular interests and can help identify a specific area, ward, department, or project within the Trust that aligns best to your company’s values.
Payroll giving/ Pennies From Heaven
Your employees can choose to support brighterway Charity by making a regular or one-off donation directly from their earnings through Payroll Giving or Pennies from Heaven. Donations are deducted from salaries before Income Tax is applied, meaning they receive tax relief on their donation. Why not encourage staff to donate those extra pennies on their pay cheques?
Gifts in Kind
Your company can donate gifts to Brighterway Charity which we will distribute across the hospital or to a ward or department of your choice. Your donation will mean that patients feel cared for and not on their own throughout the year, especially at Christmas, Easter or on their birthday.
If you would like to donate an item to our staff or service users, please visit the Southern Health website.
Cause related marketing
Your company could donate a proportion of the profits to us from the sale of a particular product or service.
This mutually beneficial collaboration could help boost your sales, promote your business and make others aware of brighterway Charity
Volunteering
If your business provides staff volunteering days then please do get in touch and we can look to identify an opportunity at one of our garden projects ‘brighter grounds’ or at one of our events throughout the year.
There’s plenty of ways for your company to get involved. If you would like to discuss anything listed above, please contact us.
