Corporate Partnerships

We rely on corporate donations, multi-year grants and Charity of the Year partnerships to help sustain our vital work.

If you choose us as your charity partner, we will work with you to create a partnership that meets your CSR strategy, engages your employees and inspires your wider stakeholders. You will successfully raise money to transform children’s lives and help us to deliver our life-changing literacy work. We can support your employees with a range of fundraising ideas and work with you to create a calendar of events and activities that are suited to your business:

• Our Back to School themed fundraising events are great fun for the workplace.
• We have places in over 500 running and challenge events across the country; from marathons to inflatable obstacle courses.
• Join us in March to celebrate World Book Day!

Corporate Volunteering – Step into a Story at your offices

Step into a Story at your offices is a unique corporate volunteering opportunity. The half-day storytelling workshop is a fun, interactive team building experience for your employees where they help make story sacks for our Literacy Labs.

A story sack is a collection of items in a bag that can be used to support and extend the telling of a story. Story sacks make books more accessible to everyone and help children develop their language and vocabulary by making reading more engaging and meaningful.

Corporate Volunteering – Step into a Story at a school

Step into a Story at a school is a different and exclusive corporate volunteering opportunity reserved for corporate partners who give above £10,000. Your employees join children at one of our partner schools for a storytelling workshop; reading stories and taking part in a crafting activity.

What we provide for Step into a Story:

• 2 x expert facilitators from the charity to run the workshops with your employees.
• A short introduction to the charity and expectations for the session and activities.
• All resources needed to make the Story Sacks at your offices.

And pro bono support is always gratefully received where skills and resources we would not normally have access to are provided.

Our experienced fundraising team is available to have an initial chat about our work and explore ways in which we could partner together.
