Corporate partners

Many businesses give their staff volunteering days or time off for volunteering. Many volunteers love it so much they stay with us for the long term. Your employees can really make a difference by working with us at our charity shops or at our offices and care sites in Kent, South East London and East Sussex. Whether it’s a one-off volunteering day or a longer-term commitment, we would love you to spend time with us.

Businesses and organisations have expertise and experience that Demelza would benefit from. This might include marketing, auditing, project management or another area of excellence that your business can provide. We can work with you as partners to identify opportunities that both benefit our children and young people, and offer personal and professional development opportunities to staff.

Every year our charity shops raise £2.8 million that helps us provide our vital services. Offices often have items that are surplus to requirements, that can be donated to Demelza to sell and raise vital funds. This might include computing equipment, office furniture, stationery, or staff may donate work clothes. In doing so, you will be helping Demelza and our communities to be more sustainable by reducing CO2 emissions and preventing items from going to landfill.
