We believe that a working relationship with St Christopher's can be mutually beneficial and will often help organisations to achieve their own objectives, as well as helping us to maintain our vital services to care for people whose lives have been affected by terminal illness.

Some of the ways organisations currently help us include gifts in kind, sponsoring and supporting events, corporate donations, promoting payroll giving and matched giving. Many organisations have plans for their own corporate social responsibility and fundraising plans which may include team building opportunities or just 'giving back' to society.
