Fundraise for us

Your organisation can fundraise for Demelza by attending our events, hosting your own events or even tackling extreme challenges like a marathon or skydive.

Our fundraisers can support you with fundraising ideas that play to your business’s strengths, such as themed dress down days, bake sales or an office bake off, sweepstakes, quiz nights or taking on one of our challenges as a team.

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. 

You can 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. 

Offer expertise through pro bono work

Your team has 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 the children we support and offer personal and professional development opportunities to staff.

Donate your spare items and boost your sustainability

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. By donating items, you will be helping Demelza and our communities to be more sustainable by reducing CO2 emissions and preventing items from going to landfill.

Donate through payroll giving

Payroll giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It’s a really easy way of donating to Demelza, as it simply comes out of your PAYE every month. Payroll giving is straight forward to set up and helps Demelza get regular income in a way that is also tax efficient for you and your colleagues.
