Choose Home-Start Norfolk as your charity of the year. Organising your own fundraising events, from charity black tie balls to golf days, will create a range of great hospitality opportunities. The ability to entertain clients and suppliers can be a great way of growing your network and building strategic relationships whilst supporting a worthwhile cause. You could donate your staff’s time and expertise, encouraging team building and fulfilment, increasing your employees engagement and productivity. Your company could benefit from the great PR opportunities that comes with supporting a local charity, by sharing fundraisers, news and pictures of the work you are doing in your community, will  in turn help raise your visibility. Evidence suggests that consumers prefer to buy from brands that give back to their communities in a time of need.

If your company is interested in contributing to the work of Home-Start Norfolk and our charity fundraising we would really welcome your support and love to hear from you!

There are various opportunities to sponsor our work at Home-Start, including sponsoring the set-up of a project or group, being involved in activities, sponsorship of events, providing our printed and digital marketing resources or giving a one-off donation. We can offer promotion on our marketing channels to say thank you and raise your PR opportunities and visibility in the local community. We want to find a way to develop meaningful relationships with businesses that work in the local area, to help give back to their consumers and deliver long lasting changes. 

Your support can really make a huge difference to local children and their families who are going through tough times on their own. We would be happy to come and talk through how our work benefits local families and explore how we could work together with your business. 

We would welcome donations of ‘In-Kind Gifts’ to help us create an efficient, productive charity. From I.T products like computers and software to aid us in online volunteer training, to offering your meeting spaces or specialised advice to boost our expertise – all donations will help us to offset core costs, leaving more funds available to support families that need us. 

Or perhaps you are able to provide gifts and prizes for raffles and auctions, or food and drink for hospitality at our fundraising events. Your donation of a gift in kind will not only help Home-Start Norfolk, but of course increase the visibility of your brand in the local community.
