Corporate support
The support of a company could make such a difference to the children and young people we work with.
A companies support will give TACT the opportunity to help even more vulnerable children and young people in the care system. Together we can give them the right start in life. There are many ways in which your company could become involved with TACT:
Charity of the Year
As a national charity we can offer your company UK wide coverage and involvement. We can provide support throughout the partnership and help put together a plan of events to involve staff across the company.
Choosing to support TACT will offer many benefits to both organisations, for example; profile raising, boosting morale amongst colleagues, build reputations, team building, establish relationships, plus much more.
Give As You Earn
Encourage colleagues to sign up to Give As You Earn the most tax efficient donation you can give to a charity. If you earn a salary or if your pension is paid via PAYE you can directly give from your pre-tax salary, so money that would normally go to the taxman goes to TACT instead.
Give As You Earn donations are deducted before tax so for each £1.00 given it will only cost the donor 80p. If you're a higher rate tax payer it will cost you just 60p! So if you donate £5.00 you will only pay £4.00 - the taxman pays the rest! All you need to do is choose how much you want to donate each month. You can give as little or as much as you like.
You can check that your employer is running the scheme by using the Employer Search. If so, simply send them your request to join and tell them your requested donation amount. If your employer isn’t on the scheme but you and your colleagues would like them to be, simply complete the CAF contact form and they will contact your employers.
For further information about the Give As You Earn scheme please visit www.cafonline.org or call us on 020 8695 2314.
Sponsorship
If your company doesn't run a Charity of the Year scheme you can still help TACT by choosing to sponsor a TACT event such as our annual BIG Weekend or children activites which take place on a very local level throughout the year. Alternatively you could sponsor a TACT publication.
If your company would like to discuss any of the above ways to support TACT or you have your own ideas, please get in touch with Gemma Sills on 020 8695 2314 or email g.sills@tactcare.org.uk. See which companies are currently supporting TACT by visiting 'Who we work with'
"We are proud to assist in spreading awareness of such issues as FASD, and promoting adoption in our community. We are looking forward to spending the coming year in partnership with TACT, and hope that it is as successful as it will be fun!”
