Customers are increasingly looking for businesses that partner with a charity and ‘give back’, supporting people and communities in need.
In response, customers connect much more warmly with a brand and it is widely reported that companies who partner with a charity are experiencing an increase in profits of up to 10% as a result.

Why We Need You
Our Children’s Home, the Cherry Brierley Children’s Home, loves and nurtures over 74 children aged 5-18. We also try to extend that support as they make their way in the world, having left school and moved out of the Home.
Running alongside this, we have a Community Children programme where children in their family homes are helped with school costs and a daily meal.
- There are One Off (capital) Investments.
These can range from buying sets of school uniforms for our children as they start a new school, through to the construction of a polytunnel where the children learn how to grow vegetables.
- We also need your help with Ongoing (revenue) Investments
Like any big family, our children need continued support. You may want to build a long-term relationship with a group of children by sponsoring them through secondary school. Your staff may prefer to meet basic needs and help put food on the table for a fixed period, say 6 months.
Whatever you and your staff team are passionate about, we can sit down together and develop a win-win plan which will more than reward your investment.
