Partner with us
Partnering with Demelza is an excellent way to unite and inspire your staff, while helping us provide vital services for children and families.
Corporate partnerships
Integrating support for Demelza into your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives offers great benefits for your organisation, including team-building opportunities, donating surplus goods and tax efficient charitable giving.
We believe in supporting each other, ensuring your business benefits as much as Demelza:
- We know no organisation is alike and so your experienced Demelza account manager will work with you to create a bespoke plan for your CSR/ESG and staff engagement.
- We help raise your profile and provide publicity of your activities where possible through local press, social media and our website and publications.
- We’re full of great ideas to help you fundraise for Demelza – and encourage you to have fun doing so. If you need inspiration, we’re here.
- You can see the difference you make to Demelza by meeting our families and visiting our sites.
- Staff can volunteer, building their own skills and supporting people who need them the most.
In return, your organisation’s support and contributions will enable us to provide extraordinary care for children and young people with serious or life-limiting conditions.

Get involved
There are many different ways your organisation can support our vital work. Whether you fundraise for us, or offer your time, talents and goods, partnering with Demelza will make an extraordinary difference to children and families.
Get involved through fundraising
Many of our partners choose to fundraise for Demelza through attending our events, hosting their own or even tackling extreme challenges like a marathon or skydive.
Whatever you decide, we’re here to support you and promise that the money you raise is spent providing extraordinary care and support for children with serious or life-limiting conditions and their loved ones.
Give your time to make a difference
Many businesses give their staff time off for volunteering where they can help a cause and develop skills.
Our corporate partners can choose to make a difference by working with us at our charity shops, events or 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.
Get your business involved through pro bono work
Businesses and organisations have expertise and experience that Demelza would benefit from. This might include marketing, auditing, project management or another area of excellence 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.
Improve sustainability through donating spare items
Every year our charity shops raise £2.8 million, helping us provide our care and services. Offices often have items that are surplus to requirements that could be donated to Demelza to sell and raise vital funds. This might include computing equipment, office furniture, stationery or 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.
Show your support through payroll giving
Payroll giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It’s a really simple way of donating to Demelza, as it simply comes out of your PAYE every month. Payroll giving is easy to set up and helps Demelza get regular income in a way that is also tax efficient for you and your colleagues.
