How can we get involved?
There are a number of ways your organisation can partner with us.
Choose Age UK Oxfordshire as your Charity of the Year
Please consider choosing Age UK Oxfordshire 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.
Sponsor one of our events
Your staff could get involved in our events throughout the year, such as our annual Golf day 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.
Display a collection tin
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 Oxfordshire.
Donate a raffle prize or service
Could you donate a prize for one of our many fundraising raffles and competitions - perhaps a bottle of wine, a new TV, a golf bag, a new home appliance, box of chocolates, gift vouchers, or free services?
Send employees to volunteer
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 organised and served Christmas lunches for local older people, volunteered at fundraising events such as pop-up cafes and fundraising dog walks, collected donations at supermarkets, picked grapes at a vineyard in return for a donation to the charity, and counted and packed little knitted hats for The Big Knit campaign.
Run a fundraising event
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, an office swear jar, climb 3 peaks, run a cycle challenge in the foyer of your office or a raffle. There's so many things they could do - contact us for more ideas!
