Charity of the Year
Partner with Francis House as your chosen Charity of the Year and our fundraising team will work with you to generate exciting and motivating fundraising ideas that work for you and your employees. They will always be on hand to help with your fundraising efforts.
“Supporting Francis House is something we feel deeply passionate about. We were proud to make a £5,000 donation to help fund a short break holiday for children attending respite at Francis House. Seeing first-hand the compassion, care and life-changing impact Francis House has on children and families reminds us why every pound raised truly matters.”

Join in our events
From gala balls and ladies lunches to sponsored walks, runs and abseils, we have plenty of EVENTS for your organisation to attend over the year – all great for employee rewards.
Sponsorship
We are always on the lookout for corporate support through sponsorship of our range of events. Whether it’s our drinks package, table sales, sandwiches for participants or sponsor a hole at a golf day. Sponsorship highlights your support and helps cover costs so more funds go directly to Francis House!
Employee Volunteering
Employees can also use their allocated volunteer time to support our fundraising team. A team from Barclays, Manchester, used their volunteer hours to stuff and pack chicks for our Knitted Easter Chick appeal.
Other volunteering opportunities include:-
- Bucket collections
- Flyering in the local area for events
- Helping at our events
- Cheering squad/marshalls
Why not use one of your volunteering days to organise a mid week fundraiser or challenge event.

A tax-efficient way to make regular donations as contributions are taken pre-tax. If your work place doesn’t have a Payroll Giving scheme, we recommend one of these organisations to set one up: Charitable Giving, Charities Trust or Give as you Earn (via CAF).
