Corporate Partnerships

We actively seek to create lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships with companies that share our values and want to help young people thrive.

“We are proud to be partnering with such a worthy cause as Eikon, who are doing outstanding work helping young people in Surrey to overcome challenges and thrive.”

– Giles Verity, Director, Stanhope-Seta

Why partner with us?

We are investing in the future generation –

Children’s services in Surrey are so stretched that a young person can reach crisis point before professional services have responded to a referral. With your help, we can empower and enable young people and their families earlier, and ensure a brighter future for this generation (your future employees) and the next.

We work with your colleagues’ and customers’ children –

89% of Surrey secondary schools are using our materials to improve young people’s wellbeing and resilience – so your support will likely benefit children that you know.

How companies can partner with us

Charity of the year

If you choose us as your Charity of the Year we will provide a dedicated account manager to work with you to put together a bespoke and engaging plan combining fundraising, communication touch points and employee engagement.

Strategic partnership

– We are inviting corporates who share our values and have a strong synergy with our work, to partner with us in a mutually beneficial way to develop and improve our services for young people. To explore a partnership, email becky.hughes@eikon.org.uk

Corporate grants

If you are considering a financial contribution to our work, our fundraising team can align your funding priorities with specific funding needs. Please contact becky.hughes@eikon.org.uk if you are considering a corporate donation.

Employee engagement

There are many benefits to be gained when employees are engaged in charity partnerships. Fundraising together as a team or volunteering can improve staff morale and wellbeing, contribute to personal development goals and improve staff retention. We offer a range of employee engagement opportunities including fundraising challenges and volunteering. To discuss further, email becky.hughes@eikon.org.uk

Sponsorship

By sponsoring an event or investing in a wellbeing initiative for young people, parents or schools, your company can demonstrate commitment to social impact, boost brand reputation and reach specific target audiences.

Cause related marketing

Donating a percentage of your sales or your annual turnover has never been easier. Sign up to give via our partner site Work for Good.

In-kind support

Donating products, services, meeting space or pro-bono professional advice is a valuable way to help us keep our costs down. It is also a great opportunity for employees to transfer their skills through volunteering.

Payroll giving

Employees can opt into a regular pre-tax donation through their payroll, which could then be matched by the company. Depending on the level of tax they pay, there could be tax relief benefits for them too. Find more information here.

Organisational benefits

Visible impact

As a local charity, your support will have a positive impact in the community, and employees will be able to see first-hand the difference they are making to young people’s lives.
