Be a partner

Charity of the Year

Many companies choose to focus their charitable support on a different charity each year. These are normally nominated and selected by employees, so we’re always looking to be nominated. We’re available to come in and let your staff know all about the work we do across the county and will provide you with regular updates on how your support is helping.

Why not be our partner for multiple years to help make a bigger impact?

Fundraising

Fancy a skydive? A trek? What about a team evening lighting up Poole Park? Our events and challenges are a great way to step out of your comfort zone, build comradery, there’s something for everyone so click here to check out our latest event listings.

Why not organise your own fundraising event or challenge? Host a bake sale, run 100 miles over a month, host a pub quiz, or whatever you fancy taking on. Get in contact with us and we will be more than happy to offer guidance and support on your fundraising endeavours.

Volunteer

Volunteering has so many benefits, for both us and you, and there’s lots of opportunities to get involved. Click here to find out more.

Match Funding

Many companies offer match funding schemes to their employees that are fundraising for charity. Most give a £1 donation for every £1 raised by their employees, so if you’re doing any fundraising then be sure to find out if your company can double what you raise.

Sponsorship

Every year we host many events and activities that require sponsorship. This is a great opportunity to provide valuable financial support to Diverse Abilities at the same time as raising the awareness of your brand.

In return, you’ll receive many benefits including coverage in the local news, your logo on our marketing materials, social media support, and so much more. We’ll tailor it according to your key business objectives.

There are many opportunities of this kind available, including sponsorship of events, our newsletters, fundraising campaigns and more. Securing sponsorship to cover these costs ensures that all funds raised go directly to the children, adults, and families that Diverse Abilities supports.

If you want to find out about the latest sponsorship opportunities available, call 01202 718266 and speak to our fundraising team.

Gifts in Kind

As well as raising money, some companies are able to donate their goods or services to help us reduce our expenditure.

For example, Purbeck Ice Cream has kindly provided more than 5,000 tubs of ice cream to our services, Spaceoutdoor has provided extra advertising space, and J.P. Morgan provided the paint, as well as the volunteers, to spruce up one of our Supported Living bungalows.

We’re also always looking for donations for raffle prizes, auction lots and tombolas – so if you’ve got product that we can provide as a prize then these are always appreciated. We need everything from vouchers to champagne, books to signed memorabilia, snacks to once in a lifetime opportunities.

Why not set up a ‘Gift Amnesty’ within your workplace or community group where people can drop in unwanted gifts that can be donated to Diverse Abilities?

If you or your company are able to help us in any way, we would love to hear from you, you can call or email us at fundraising@diverseabilities.org.uk to arrange drop off of goods or set up donations of services.
