As an Organisation
Corporate Support to Make a Lasting Impact
Partnering with the Alan Shearer Foundation is an opportunity for your company to make a real difference while fulfilling your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals.
By supporting us, you can help provide free, life-enhancing services to individuals with disabilities and their families at the Alan Shearer Activity Centre. Together, we can create a more inclusive community, improve the quality of life for thousands of people, and demonstrate your company’s commitment to social good.
Whether through donations, sponsorship, or team fundraising, your support helps us maintain and grow our facilities, ensuring they remain free for those who need them most. With the right partnership, your business can benefit from increased brand recognition, staff engagement, and a stronger reputation for social responsibility.
We offer a range of opportunities for corporate partners to get involved and make an impact.
Ways Your Business Can Get Involved
Corporate Donations
Your company can make a direct impact with a one-time or recurring donation. Unrestricted donations help us cover the ongoing costs of running the Alan Shearer Centre, while restricted donations can be used to sponsor specific projects or facilities, such as upgrading sensory rooms or maintaining accessible outdoor spaces.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Become an event or project sponsor. We offer opportunities to sponsor fundraising events, awareness campaigns, or new facility developments. Sponsorship is a great way to showcase your company’s values while reaching a wider audience.
Employee Engagement and Team Fundraising
Boost team morale and engagement by organising team fundraising activities. Whether it’s a corporate challenge, bake sale, or sponsored sports event, your staff can have fun while making a difference. We can provide a fundraising guide and support to help make your event a success.
In-Kind Support
Companies can also provide in-kind donations, such as goods, services, or volunteer hours. From helping with facility upgrades to donating supplies for events, your contributions are invaluable in keeping our services running smoothly.
Corporate Match Giving
Amplify your employees efforts by matching their fundraising totals. Many companies offer match giving schemes that double the impact of individual donations and boost your CSR credentials.
