The benefits of companies supporting charities

Companies supporting charities reap the benefits in many ways. Has your company wanted to get involved with supporting a charitable organisation? Unsure where to start? We have you covered! 

Companies’ relationships with charities can go far beyond simply donating money. Working with a charitable cause can be an integral part of your brand while differentiating yourself from the competition and allowing you to stand out when hiring. Working for a philanthropic company could also increase employee morale, loyalty and retention. 

You will position yourself as reliable and ethical, allowing for a great networking opportunity. Media coverage and sponsorships can boost your organisation’s visibility, as you can expose your brand to new audiences who follow and support your chosen charity. 

The most obvious benefit of working with charities is that it can positively impact your chosen charity’s cause. Here at Breast Cancer UK, companies who support us help raise funds to support our vital breast cancer prevention work. Find out more about companies supporting charities.

Why should companies support Breast Cancer UK? 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. It is estimated that 1 in 7 women will develop the disease in their lifetime. Unfortunately, many people we know will have been touched by breast cancer in some way, but you and your colleagues can help change that. By supporting Breast Cancer UK, you can help us reduce the number of people affected by this terrible disease.  

Sadly, not all breast cancer cases can be prevented. But, studies show that at least 30% of breast cancer cases could be prevented. By making changes to your lifestyle, such as increasing your level of physical activity, you can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer.  

We invite you to help us raise awareness of breast cancer prevention among your networks and fundraise for Breast Cancer UK. We have plenty of activities and challenges that may appeal to you and your colleagues. 

Walk 500 

Walking is one of the simplest ways to increase our daily physical activity and improve our health and well-being. That’s why we’re challenging people to take part in our Walk 500 challenge by walking 500 miles in 30 days from our research lab at Kings College, London, to our research lab at Aberdeen University, Scotland. We’ve designed the challenge so that it’s easy to participate whether in the office, hybrid or fully remote. 

Many benefits are associated with team challenges, including boosting team morale and promoting well-being, so sign up today and challenge your team to Walk 500 for Breast Cancer UK.
