Charity of the Year
Charity of the Year partnerships are often key to delivering a company's Corporate Social Responsibility strategy and with market research indicating that consumers react positively to companies who support a cause, there is a good business case for them as well.

Charity of the Year partnerships are a great way to motivate staff and encourage team building. Our experienced corporate fundraising team are here to help you generate ideas, tailor them according to your business environment and of course, have fun!

We are currently charity of the year for a range of companies from Manchester United Football Club to Satair, a global aerospace distribution service. Whatever your company's size, sector or structure we will work with you to help raise much needed funds.

Employee fundraising
When holding an event for the CF Trust or adopting us as your Charity of the Year, our dedicated events team and regional fundraisers can help you have fun while you fundraise.

We have 17 regional fundraising managers and around 300 branches and groups who can help you organise fun runs, discos, pub-crawls, sponsored silences, quizzes and much more.

This has proved popular and effective in the past with B&Q, Centrica, Tesco and Floors 2 Go.

Payroll giving
We aligned to a national agency that deals with payroll giving for many companies in the UK, who would be happy to come and speak to you about how to set up payroll giving in your company and motivate your colleagues to donate each month to help cure Cystic Fibrosis.

Cause-related marketing
Cause-related marketing has been shown to increase the bottom line in product sales. We would be delighted to work with you to create mutually beneficial products (eg a CF Trust Easter egg). Find out more about cause-related marketing.

Volunteering
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is always happy to have more help with our events. This can range from manning a cake stall at a fete to stewarding at a sports event. There is also the opportunity to get involved - you could end up abseiling down Tyne Bridge or Canary Wharf!

Donation
A straight donation from your company will help us in our fight against Cystic Fibrosis. Every pound that is donated to us is a step closer to finding a cure for the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease.

Recycling
Mobile phones and printer ink cartridges.
What does your company do with their old printer cartridges and mobiles?
We can provide you with freepost envelopes or for larger quantities arrange for them to be collected free of charge and recycled. Posters and collection boxes are also available on request.

If you would like to know more about recycling please contact Gemma on 020 8290 8043 or email recycling@cftrust.org.uk

Corporate Sponsorship
There are always opportunities available to sponsor fundraising events for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. From taking a category at the Breathing Life Awards to being the headline sponsor for one of our national campaigns. We would love to talk to you about the opportunities available, please see our Sponsorship Opportunities section for more details.
