What we look for
At The Brain Charity, we value corporate partners who share our values.
We look for organisations who understand the social model of disability; that we shouldn’t be asking people with neurological conditions to fit into society, but instead should work hard to remove their barriers instead.
When working with businesses, we follow best practice guidance as outlined in by the Fundraising Regulator.
Employee volunteering and help in kind
Workplace volunteering is known to boost staff morale and job satisfaction, strengthen team relationships and improve work-life balance.
When your staff donate their time, they see the direct positive impact their support is having as we gain specialist skills our organisation may otherwise not have the resources to access. Click here to find more information about volunteering at The Brain Charity.
Help in kind is often equally as valuable to The Brain Charity as financial donations. If your company can provide a specialist skill, service or product which might benefit The Brain Charity’s work, we would love to discuss this.
Employee fundraising
Our fundraising team can help your company’s employees identify and run the perfect fundraising event for them – which most importantly, is fun!
Whether a marathon, office bake sale, global trek or anything in between, we can provide collection tins, posters and Brain Charity merchandise as well as giving tips on how to maximise your fundraising, best collect donations and spread the word.

“The Brain Charity is a fantastic headline charity partner choice. With early treatment and support, many people with neurological conditions will be able to receive the help they need, as well as their friends, family and carers.“
Daniel Green, CEO of current charity of the year partner LCFA
“The Brain Charity plays a vital role in supporting some of the country’s most marginalised and isolated individuals and we’re delighted to be associated with such a wonderful organisation.”
