At this stage in our development, partly because of hospital policies, the volunteers we need are primarily are fundraising and developing the charity’’ profile, especially:
- People willing to do and event or challenge for us or to help us organise an event
- People who can help us find participants for events and challenges
- People who can help support our social media marketing
- People who can work as ambassadors in the community, attend networking for us etc.
Corporate Partners
We want to work with community minded businesses to engage the wider community in changing the experience of children at a critical time. That’s great for us and we want it to be great for you too, helping to engage your team and express your community connection.
We tailor our partnerships so it works for the business and it works for the charity too. Every business is different and at different stages. We respect that and we work hard to find out how a partnership with Samuels Charity will best works for you.
Ideally we want to work with you over the long haul and really make some good stuff happen through our partnership.
Here are some ways of doing that:
- Second some of your staff and expertise to drive our growth and development
- Do a Team challenge or encourage your staff to get involved in our events
- Run an inhouse lottery syndicate
- Clearout Challenge - every team member brings in old clothes, bags and shoes - we pick them up - make some space at home and fundraise all at once!
- Have a charity Teams event once every couple of months or have a dress down Friday etc, depending on your business
- Lots of other good stuff
