WHY YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD SUPPORT THE ASTHMA SOCIETY

Recent studies on website activity have shown that when people are researching for a new position advertised on a website the highest click rate is on pages relating to Corporate Social Responsibility.

A clear well communicated CSR programme with organisation wide participation has been proven to help attract the best candidates to business. It can help with employee retention, team building and is an outward expression of the caring side of your business.

To be seen to be supporting The Asthma Society is a clear statement to the public, your customers, your employees and your competitors of your company values, this builds a very strong brand image and commands loyalty.

 
SPONSORSHIP
We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available from sponsoring a publication to title sponsor of an event. To discuss the range of options available contact the fundraising department on 01 8788511
CHARITY OF THE YEAR
Many companies focus their CSR activities on one charity for the entire year. By choosing one charity that the entire organisation can get behind, you can set a fundraising target for the year which is a great motivation for all involved.
PAYROLL GIVING

Employees can support the Asthma Society through payroll giving, this is where a small donation comes directly form salaries to the society each month.
