Many businesses give their staff days or 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.

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.

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.

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.
