How can we get involved?
There are a number of ways your organisation can partner with us.
Choose Age UK Trafford as your Charity of the Year
Please consider choosing Age UK Trafford 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 thoughout the year, such as our winter warmth events, electric blanket testing or falls prevention event. By sponsoring an event you help us with the costs, for example: food and room costs; replacement blankets; and winter warmth packs, 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 ontinue our vital work in Trafford.
Donate a raffle prize or service
Could you donate a prize for one of our two annual fundraising raffles - perhaps a bottle of wine, box of chocolates or biscuits, bath goodies, gift vouchers, or free services?
Donate equipment
If you would like to donate a piece of equipment, we would be very grateful. We usually need good quality chairs for people in our day centre, activity equipment for people with dementia, and office furniture for our staff.
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 served Christmas lunches, taken older people on days out, helped with IPAD taster sessions for older people.
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, or a raffle. There's so many things they could do - contact us for more ideas!
