Many of the businesses that support Cornwall Air Ambulance hold regular or one-off fundraising events. Whether it be a pub quiz, golf day or cake sales, events like these play a crucial role in keeping the helicopter flying and saving more time and more lives.
Cornwall Air Ambulance can provide you with fundraising materials, such as collection buckets, stickers, posters and merchandise, to help boost your event.
Every year Cornwall Air Ambulance organise a series of challenge events, including skydives, walks, cycles and runs. These are fantastic for local companies to get involved with as they motivate employees and encourage team work. Your company could encourage employees to take on these challenges by offering to match fund any money they raise. This is a fantastic way to highlight your philanthropic and supportive business culture to your employees, and it doubles the donations made to the charity, which doubles the work we can do. In 2020 you can already sign up for challenges like Kilimanjaro, The Alps Trek or Snowdon at Night – click here for more information.
Could your company donate something special for a prize draw or auction? Every year Cornwall Air Ambulance hosts a very popular Summer Ball, and runs a Grand Draw selling in excess of 20,000 tickets. Prizes donated for these events are seen by a huge audience and so as well as helping to raise money for the charity, your business will also benefit from great PR.
The charity also runs several smaller auctions and raffles throughout the year and are always grateful for prize donations.
Donations to Cornwall Air Ambulance’s charity shops are greatly appreciated as they constantly need new stock, whether from your employees or the business surplus stock.
Payroll giving is a flexible scheme which allows employees the opportunity to donate regulary and tax free from their monthly pay.
Payroll Giving donations are deducted before tax so for every £1.00 that you give it will only cost you 80p.
Visit payrollgiving.co.uk to find out if your employer is registered on the scheme, or to get your company signed up.
Your company could donate your employees’ time to volunteer with Cornwall Air Ambulance.
From one-off events such as Royal Cornwall Show or charity open days, to volunteering in one of our six charity shops.
