Corporate fundraising
Our corporate partners provide a vital source of income, but more than that they have fun too.
Our corporate partnerships make a real difference to the lives of local children and their families. We know that in return their involvement with us makes a positive impact on their business. Staff motivation, retention and team building as well as demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility are just some of these benefits.
Every business is different and we will work with you to build a mutually beneficial partnership that supports our work, whilst meeting your objectives.
Please get in touch with us today to find out how your company can make a lifetime of difference to families in desperate need of our support. Call 01628 822777 or email fundraising@alexanderdevine.org

This December we want to share with you some of the different ways we bring comfort and joy to the children and families that we support, all thanks to your support.
It's Day 1 and look who's behind today's door...
Life for Harry is very different to most children his age. 5 year old Harry was born with a rare neurological condition called Moebius syndrome. It means he can’t smile, blink or move his eyes. He is also very weak and can’t sit up or walk. He struggles to swallow so is fed through a peg tube.
Harry’s family are determined to make sure Harry has every opportunity to experience things other children his age do. And visits to our hospice do just that. As well as an opportunity for much-needed respite for his parents, it is also the chance for Harry to have fun, whether that is splashing in the pool, playing in the playground or enjoying music therapy.
You can help continue to bring comfort and joy to children like Harry by donating to our Christmas Appeal ➡www.alexanderdevine.org/christmas
