There are now new and unique opportunities for FareShare to work together with your company to develop mutually beneficial, integrated partnerships through an understanding of your CSR objectives and the priorities of your business.
Supporting our projects would help ensure your company has the biggest possible impact on the community and environment in which both organisations operate, while at the same time actively engaging employees, customers and key stakeholders.
Staff Engagement
From hands-on involvement in helping at our food depots during dedicated Team Volunteer Days, through to putting the skills and expertise of your staff into action, all FareShare projects have opportunities to engage your staff and colleagues from across your business.A Team Volunteer Day, for example, aims to give your staff a chance to get involved at the very heart of the FareShare food operation, working alongside our regular volunteers to help deliver food to the community organisations we support, whilst team building for your staff.
Sponsored Events
Another way of raising funds is to build sponsorship pages for events to benefit FareShare.FareShare has teamed up with www.justgiving.com so that runners and event participants can raise money quickly and easily online with their own personalised webpages, allowing friends and family will be able to donate online with a credit or debit card.
Positive Marketing and Sponsorship
There are also a huge range of opportunities to celebrate the partnership and strengthen the brand of both organisations, engaging customers, staff and other stakeholders, including:- Cause Related Marketing – focused, creative and engaging CRM opportunities: E.g. Percentage of the sale price of a product supporting our work.
- Sponsorship – including FareShare vehicles, information leaflets and events
- Corporate Champions scheme – exclusive and tangible recognition of your support on FareShare’s materials (see below).
- Enhance your brand through association with a charity that is trusted to deliver long-term practical solutions for vulnerable people in the community and a cause that consumers care about.
- Position the company as an expert in the field of social responsibility and as a promoter of best practice.
FareShare Corporate Champions Scheme
We have set out to recognise and celebrate partnerships with our corporate supporters, based on the level of funding commitment to our work - from Strategic Champion level (£50,000+ per year) to a FareShare Friend (£1,000+).We are offering a package of benefits including:
- Recognition on our new website and information leaflet
- Dedicated Team Volunteer Days – hands-on experience for your staff
- Tailored CSR reporting – to demonstrate the impact of your company’s support
At such an exciting phase of FareShare’s development to increase the number of people that benefit from the quality food and training the charity provides, this is a fantastic way for your company – whether food- or non-food – to address food poverty across the UK.
