Above and beyond for children with cancer
Above and beyond for children with cancer
We’re so grateful to businesses who donate money towards our vital work, but also to those who offer their expertise, services, and time.
These valuable contributions mean so much to Pasic and the families we support here in the East Midlands. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss how your company can support us.
We love working in partnership with local and national companies, and we enjoy thinking creatively together about how you can make a difference. In the past, businesses across the East Midlands have saved us significant costs – money we’ve been able to spend directly on supporting families instead.
Companies have helped us in all sorts of practical ways, and we’re always on the lookout for similar support, including pop‑up office space and storage space, donations of furniture or white goods for families, help with postage or printing, even loan of a van and driver.
If you’d like to help make life feel a little brighter for families facing childhood cancer, here are six ways your business can help:
This is a great opportunity to build a rewarding partnership. Employees love having the chance to turn their work skills to good use for charity. A year-long partnership with Pasic isn’t just good for us, it helps you too:
Supporting Pasic doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Many local businesses choose to make a one-off donation instead.
You can make a discreet donation at any time using our Online Donation Platform or you can invite us to a presentation of a big cheque, which gives your employees a real sense of achievement.
Matched funding is a fantastic way to support both your employees and a good cause with minimal effort. People are more likely to donate themselves if they know you’ll match it.
Many workplaces match the fundraising of their staff. For instance, a member of your team raises £500 by taking part in a charity cycle ride. You match it, and together you’ve raised £1000 for Pasic – a fantastic achievement!
Why not set up an internal payroll-giving scheme?
Payroll giving is a simple way for employees to support Pasic with a small monthly donation direct from their income. Cumulatively, these donations can make a massive difference to us and the families we support. It’s simple to do:
Donations are taken before tax, which means a £5 donation will only cost £4.
Money isn’t the only thing that helps Pasic. Some businesses give us use of their services, like storage facilities, meeting rooms, haulage services, and so on. This kind of help is invaluable.
Other companies have given auction items for our charity ball or invited children with cancer to enjoy their corporate boxes at major sporting and music events.
Have a ponder, is there anything you’ve got up your sleeve that can help us?
If so, please get in touch and let’s chat!
We sometimes have volunteering opportunities available, especially helping with one-off events. We can also have a chat about how your team could use your skills to help us practically.
Please get in touch to talk about how your team can help make a difference to the lives of young people living with childhood cancer or encourage your colleagues to sign up to our Volunteer Mailing List.
We provide practical, emotional and financial support for families when they need it most.
With the help of our amazing supporters, we make a huge difference to the lives of families across the East Midlands.
