Other ways your business can support us
Sponsorship
The DENS calendar is full of exciting events taking place throughout the year, from our Sleepout to Hillbuster!
Sponsoring an event is a great way to not only increase your company’s reach, but benefit from the positive PR and brand exposure of being linked with a local charity.
Charity of the Year
If your company offers Charity of the Year Partnerships, consider nominating DENS!
Throughout our partnership, we’ll demonstrate the real impact of your support and the legacy it creates.
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving, or Give As You Earn, allows you to make regular donations directly from your salary. It’s one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity since donations come from your gross pay, saving you at least 25%.
Challenges & Events
Team challenges are a great way to spark friendly competition between while supporting DENS and raising awareness of our cause. Check out our events and challenges here.
Make a Donation
Whether you donate money or food and household items, your gift will make a huge difference to those facing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion in Dacorum.
We can provide a High Needs List of what items our Foodbank and services need, as well as share the tangible effects of your donation.
Share Skills & Expertise
Share your skills for DENS through pro-bono support, providing a professional service for free.
There are lots of ways your business could support, from advice and consultation around marketing, legal and digital, to on-the-ground support offering work experience or training opportunities for DENS clients.
Boost Your Brand
Use the power of both our brands to raise awareness across Dacorum.
Supporting can be as simple as selling a product in aid of DENS, donating a percentage of your profits or even collaborating on a campaign.
Organise Your Own Fundraiser
Why not organise a staff raffle, have a ‘team night out’ by arranging a quiz night, host a summer BBQ or Christmas party – anything goes!
