Cotton Court calls for business support for Barnardo's

By Dean

27 Apr 2016

This year marks 150 years of Barnardo’s work, supporting hundreds of thousands of the UK’s most vulnerable children.

Barnardo’s needs 150 businesses across Lancashire to sign up and pledge to support their work in some way; either in the form of donations, gifts in kind, volunteering or fundraising.What they need:

  • Equipment donation
  • Prize donations
  • Use of facilities and services (could be a parking space, venue, catering)
  • Fundraising events
  • Members of staff volunteering
  • Expertise (could be legal, marketing, strategic)
  • Offering work experience or apprenticeships for young people
What happens next?
  • We will contact you to share your pledge
  • You will be invited to a launch event
  • Barnardo’s will ask you for a business card. All 150 business cards will be made into a piece of artwork
What do we get from this?
  • Be part of the 150thAnniversary
  • Contribute to Barnardo’s work, making a difference in children’s’ lives
  • Media coverage
  • Fulfil social responsibility
  • Provide charity giving responsibility for staff via fundraising/donations
To register your interest, email us at [email protected]. If you’re not sure what to pledge, don’t worry we’ve got loads of great ideas so get in touch!
