Some ways in which we can work together

Does your company have a Charity of The Year programme?

Often corporate organisations will nominate a selected charity to support for a period of time. We currently work with a number of Charity of the Year partners, ensuring that we engage employees with exciting and innovative fundraising ideas, as well as bringing them closer to the cause through impactful volunteering and cause led activities. Often these opportunities are staff led, so we’d love a nomination next time your company starts their process!

Can your organisation help us fulfil our strategic objectives by funding vital programmes which support positive outcomes for homeless young people? Long term strategic partnerships with Centrepoint are focused on solving a particular issue, ensuring your company has a considerable impact on the lives of the young people we support and allow you to share your skills and insight with us to improve and expand our service delivery.

We have a history of collaborating with exciting brands on cause related marketing (CRM) campaigns, where a proportion of each sale or an agreed set amount is donated to Centrepoint for a particular product.

CRM campaigns are an effective way to boost your own sales by being attached to the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity and also generate vital awareness for our work. You will give your customers the opportunity to buy your product and support homeless young people at the same time.

We have a calendar of prestigious and exciting events, including:

  • our award-nominated flagship fundraiser Sleep Out
  • our bi-annual Gala event
  • annual Centrepoint Awards where we recognise the outstanding achievements of homeless young people.  

Each event has a variety of sponsorship opportunities available. We’re here to help you achieve your own marketing objectives, and sponsoring an event or one of our programs can be a great way to not only increase your reach, but benefit from the positive brand exposure linked with supporting Centrepoint.

Employees can choose a manageable donation amount and start supporting homeless young people every month.

Donations are deducted from their salary before tax, so a £10 pledge will only cost £8 for a standard rate tax payer or £6 for a higher rate tax payer.
