How your organisation can get involved

Please consider choosing Age UK Bromley and Greenwich as your business Charity of the Year. In return we would offer joint branding on our fundraising materials and our events, as well as positive PR and local media coverage.

Your staff could get involved in our events thoughout the year, such as our annual Big Knit event and summer garden party. By sponsoring an event you help us with the costs, for example, food and decorations, and in return get some great PR and local media coverage.

Could you display a collection tin in your office or shop? This would help us to collect much needed donations to continue our vital work in Bromley and Greenwich.

Could you donate a prize for one of our many fundraising raffles and competitions - perhaps a bottle of wine, box of chocolates or biscuits, bath goodies, gift vouchers, or free services?

If you would like to donate a piece of equipment, we would be very grateful. We usually need raiser chairs for people in our day centre, kitchen equipment for our lunch clubs, and computer equipment for our staff.

Could you send a team to help out at an event or activity? It's a great way for staff to bond by working together to help vulnerable older people. Previous staff teams have served Christmas lunches, taken older people on days out, painted our day centre, and revamped our garden.

Your employees could run their own fundraiser to help raise vital funds for our work. They could do a cake sale, dress down day, a sponsored walk or run, or a raffle. There's so many things they could do - contact us for more ideas!

Many businesses donate to charity by encouraging their stffa to make a small donation every month thorugh their payroll system.  A few pounds a month from a number of employees soon adds up, and whilst it may be a small amount to the employee, it will mean a great deal to us.
