Business Partnerships
As businesses working in Herefordshire we know that you have strong links with the community. A great way to demonstrate this is by building a partnership with a local charity like ECHO.
What do businesses get from working with ECHO?
We recognise that for it to work it must be a partnership where both sides gain some benefit. So what do companies get from working with us?
- The feel good factor of supporting people with disabilities in Herefordshire
- Staff development through volunteering
- Good publicity of being associated with a charity. Customers like to see that companies they deal with are socially minded and generous
- Help meet Corporate Social Responsibility targets
Is it always about a financial partnership?
No. Whilst financial support is vital, there are many ways that businesses can support ECHO.
- Some businesses support ECHO with donations of goods or services
- Promoting ECHO to staff and customers
- Time- volunteering with ECHO to support our projects and participants
- Host a collection tin for us
Financial Support
Some businesses do support ECHO by making regular or one off donations. There may also be some financial benefits to donating to a charity- such as tax relief, so do speak to your accountant or visit the government webpages for more information.
Some organisations also encourage their staff to do payroll giving or other fundraising for supported charities. You could even make ECHO your charity of the year.
