Local businesses provide much needed support for Big C. From companies that help us on a regular basis to one-off support, we depend upon the funds we receive from this important sector of our community.
Lending your company’s support is rewarding for both the company and its employees, it provides a unique opportunity to benefit the community whilst having a great deal of fun and building team spirit. There are plenty of ways to get involved. You could sponsor an employee to take part in one of our events, adopt Big C as your preferred charity or even put on an event for us.
It’s not difficult to organise either. All you need is a good idea and you’ll find that the interest quickly materialises within your firm. In recent years we’ve had money raised from company golf days, dances and skydives to name but three. The possibilities are limitless and you will have the satisfaction of building a link with a vital local community based charity.
Please encourage payroll giving within your firm. This is a tax efficient means of donating regular funds to Big C without the hassle of regular administration. Once it’s set up, your donation will be deducted from your gross pay without taxation, making your gift more valuable to us and cheaper to you!
If your company already has a Give As You Earn scheme in place, sign up today. If not, let us know your details and the name and address of your firm and we’ll organise it for you. If you are an employer and want to set up the scheme in your firm please get in touch with us and we’ll give you all the information you need.
