Supporting Jigsaw4u increases your company’s visibility. Choosing to support a charity defines your corporate identity as you are actively answering the needs of the cause through your contributions or fundraising activities.

Jigsaw4u can promote your fundraising through various media, enhancing your company profile and associating it with good causes.

This could be particularly beneficial to your business, as it allows your clients or customers to see your company’s values and goodwill. By supporting a local charity, you could also connect with clients who have personally benefitted from the service (of which there are over 50,000 individuals) or know someone who has.

Where we promote:

• Various Publications we produce, like our Annual Review
• Our website
• Across Jigsaw4u’s Social Media profiles
• E-Newsletters

Donations to charities are tax-deductible, reducing your Corporation Tax, by giving money, equipment, or sponsorship to charities, your company can claim tax relief by deducting the value of your donations from your total business profits before you pay tax.

To learn more about how your business can benefit from tax relief, you can visit the Gov.uk Business Tax section.

Fundraising can have numerous benefits for your company’s employees. It can enhance team building, staff retention, improve communication skills, and can even help to develop new skills and responsibilities. By engaging in fundraising activities, your employees can bond with each other across all levels of your organisation.

Fundraising can boost morale and motivate your employees. It gives everyone a ‘feel good’ feeling, knowing that they are making a difference. By making your workplace more enjoyable and engaging for current members of staff, fundraising can even help you to attract new employees or clients as well.

Additionally, fundraising can help to keep your employees in touch with the needs of your community.

They may not come across many of the issues affecting the children and families that charities like Jigsaw4u work with in the day-to-day running of your business. By raising awareness of community needs, your employees can engage more effectively with your community.

For example, Jigsaw4u works with children and young people who have experienced trauma, bereavement, and abuse. By supporting Jigsaw4u, your company can help to address the needs of vulnerable children and families in your community. Through fundraising activities, your employees can learn about the issues facing these children and families and contribute to creating a more supportive community.

On top of this, your brand becomes more recognised across the local community, including public relations. Occasionally, Jigsaw4u hosts events that can be opened up to other business supporters of ours, allowing for increased networking and marketing opportunities, giving your company and employees exposure to different sectors.

Choose Jigsaw4u as your charity of the year and make a real difference to children and young people in need. Your company can:

• Donate all proceeds from fundraising events throughout the year
• Hold a networking event to share Jigsaw4u’s work with your network
• Showcase our logo on your website or email signature
• Host an annual fundraising event such as a gala or golf day

Your staff can also run their own fundraising events throughout the year or join in on established national challenge events, with our help to develop creative ideas that don’t distract from everyday work.

Fundraising is great for solidifying teamwork and in bigger companies, can allow for internal teams to mix and socialise with the wider company.

On top of this, your company may have a match-funding scheme that doubles whatever is raised by staff fundraisers. If fundraisers publicise this to donors, this works very well for incentivising more people to support your event when they know that their donation could have an added impact.
