Ways to support

Sponsorship: Sponsor one of our events

Each year we hold a variety of exciting events across Surrey, Hampshire and the surrounding area which are available for sponsorship.

We can also provide sponsorship opportunities for our play schemes in your local area, helping you stand out locally and making a tangible and lasting difference to disabled children and their families.

If you want to stand out from the crowd we can put a sponsorship package together which suits you.

To check out what events we have lined up over the next few months, visit our events section.

Employee volunteering opportunities: We always need volunteer support from companies

We have plenty of events throughout the year across Surrey and Hampshire that need the support from volunteers. Please check out the upcoming opportunities at our Volunteer Vacancies page.

We also have opportunities to volunteer at our centres in Farnham or Guildford carrying out general DIY, maintenance or gardening tasks.

Charity of the year & employee fundraising: A great way to unite your team

Choosing Challengers as your company’s Charity of the Year is a great way to give employees a common goal and unite your team.

We can support all employee fundraising initiatives, so whether you choose Challengers as your charity of the year or a group of employees wants to get involved, we will work with you to make it a real success.

Nominate Challengers for your Corporate Foundation: Employee support for applications

Many organisations have their own corporate foundations and some require employee support for applications. If your company has a foundation and you’d like Challengers to be considered for a grant, please let us know and we can help you make the most out of your application.

Gift in kind: A practical and valuable way of working with us

Supporting Challengers with gifts in kind can be a practical and valuable way of working with us.

In kind support from companies can be in the form of fundraising gifts or prizes as well as products or professional services that can be used towards the running of our schemes or the organisation of the charity.

Payroll Giving: A simple way of engaging your employees

Running a payroll giving promotion for Challengers in your workplace is a simple and effective way of engaging your employees and promoting our work.

Your staff are able to benefit from tax efficient giving, Challengers benefits from a sustainable source of income and your company benefits by demonstrating its commitment to supporting a local cause.

Payroll giving is a tax efficient scheme that allows you to make regular donations to Challengers straight from your salary. As your donation is taken out before tax, it costs you less to give us more.

For example a £10 donation will actually only cost you £8 if pay tax at the basic rate of 20% and £6 if you are a 40% tax payer.

You can donate any amount to us and stop your donation whenever you like.
