How your business can help

Choosing to support St Ann’s as a business benefits both us and you, and can be a really rewarding partnership with lots of opportunities for team building, boosting morale and having some fun!

Here are some ideas for ways you can get involved:

• Payroll Giving: This is a simple tax-efficient scheme that allows all employees to donate to your chosen charity before tax and because a donation is taken before tax, a £10 donation will only cost you £8. Download our Payroll Giving Guide below.
• Make St Ann’s your charity of the year: We can support you to put together a plan for your fundraising, as well as mutually beneficial opportunities, such as volunteering days, to keep everyone motivated through the year.
• Support our new building appeal: After half a century of caring, we desperately need a new hospice and additional facilities so that we can continue to deliver pioneering world-class care for everyone, for generations to come.
• Do something active: Whether you’ve got the running bug or prefer a leisurely stroll, we have a range of events through the year to suit all abilities. Our annual Midnight Walk through Manchester City Centre is one of the biggest of its kind and is great to enter as a team, or why not take part in one of our challenge events?
• Sponsor an event: We have a number of high profile events which attract large numbers of supporters. Whatever your budget, we can offer sponsorship packages which will help raise your profile in the local area.
• Come to one of our events: We have a range of different social and networking events through the year, including our Golf Day and Accumulator Challenge. These are great events to meet new business contacts and network whilst having a good time.
• Organise your own event: Organising your own event at work is great for team building, and a brilliant way to raise money. Download our free Fundraising Guide below for useful tips and information on how to raise funds for St Ann’s.
• Matched Funding: Lots of companies offer cash matching incentives for fundraising activities, which can really boost staff morale and increase the uptake of events.

Employee volunteering is a great way of team building whilst helping your local hospice. Find out how you and your colleagues can help us through volunteering here.
