Corporate Partnerships with St John Ambulance Cymru

St John Ambulance Cymru partners with a variety of businesses and organisations across Wales, and corporate partnerships are at the heart of our fundraising. We are grateful to all the businesses that support us through fundraising activities, helping to raise vital funds that enable us to continue our lifesaving work in communities across Wales.

If your business is looking to give back locally and explore a strategic charity partnership, we would love the opportunity to work with you.

Why is working with a charity good for my business?

There are so many great reasons to establish a corporate partnership with a registered charity. Of course, corporate philanthropy is fantastic and the money raised helps make a real difference to the charity your business chooses to support, but there are also many other benefits for you, such as:

• It's great for your corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social impact. Nowadays, members of the public are interested not only in what a business provides, but also in its values, ethics, and contribution to society. Developing a corporate partnership with a charity is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to making a positive difference.
• It's good for your brand awareness. People are more likely to have a positive perception of your brand if they see it supporting a local charity. It's also good for your public relations (PR). Businesses that are seen as supportive to the local community often report improved customer loyalty.
• Partnering with a charity is an ideal way to boost team morale as well as engaging your colleagues and employees. Our corporate partners get great feedback after customers see that they are supporting the first aid charity for Wales.

Here are some ideas on ways we could work together

Every organisation is different, and here at St John Ambulance Cymru our fundraising team is here to help you raise money for us in any way you think works for you. However, if you're just starting out, here are a few ideas that other corporate sponsors have tried successfully before:

• Choosing us as your Charity of the Year.
• Sponsoring one of our many events throughout the year.
• Taking part in a marathon or other sports event, such as the Cardiff Half Marathon
• Have your staff take up a volunteering opportunity at one of our fundraising activities.
• Holding activities such as dress down days, bake sales, charity raffles, and other similar fun special events.
• If your business has been involved previously in corporate strategic partnerships with a charity and you've found success with other ideas, then we'd love to support you to do them again. Nobody knows how to engage your employees and audience better than you.
• Sponsor one of our flagship events.
