Fundraising for St John Ambulance is a fun way for your company to build strong teams, engage with local communities, and raise vital funds for us.

In return, we’ll provide:

• plenty of fundraising ideas
• materials to plan your fundraising
• support nationally and regionally through our network of employees and supporters
• exclusive places in major events like the Virgin Money London Marathon
• positive and inspiring stories and content.

Payroll giving is an easy and tax-efficient way for your employees to support us. Employees can sign up to give money each month and donations are taken before tax, so an £8 donation is worth £10. You can set up your regular donation through your HR or payroll department who usually manages this programme.

If your company doesn’t already have a payroll giving scheme, visit the HM Revenues and Customs website to find out how you can set one up. We can help to launch and promote it to employees.

Choose us as your charity of the year! Nominate us in your business, and select us to help put more first aiders in your community - and inspire your employees in the process.

With our cause-related marketing and brand licensing, you’ll be linking your company to our trusted charity brand, helping to differentiate your product from your competitors.

In a Business in the Community Brand Benefits Survey, 77% of customers said they would switch brand to buy a product that supports a charitable cause.

As a charity with a wide appeal and a compelling mission, we’re just what socially-concerned consumers are looking for.

Donations are not just about money. Businesses also support St John Ambulance by donating their time and professional expertise. This helps us save on costs and widens our access to different types of expertise. Also, it allows us to concentrate our funding on our charitable initiatives and to work on new and innovative projects to drive our organisation. 

Support in kind gifts we’ve received include:

• services, such as legal and accounting advice
• prizes for raffles and competitions
• meeting and venue space.

Your company may support charities through a corporate foundation.

Supporting us through your corporate foundation meets criteria in community, health, and skills learning. This can contribute to your own objectives and bring benefits to the areas we both want to impact.

Your company's contribution to our work can directly benefit people and communities that matter to us both.

We can discuss with you the priority areas of our work that need further support, and how they can best fit your objectives and business purpose.

We have a range of volunteer roles suitable for employees who get volunteering days awarded by their employer.
