Becoming a Partner in Business and raising money for the NSPCC can help build your company's identity and reputation. This can help you stand out from competitors, improve relationships with stakeholders, and even attract future staff. The Charity Aid Foundation found that nearly half of people said they'd be more likely to want to work for a business if it donates to charitable causes.2
Donating and fundraising for charity can also help support your corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental and social governance (ESG) objectives.

FAQs
Partners in Business is for companies from all sectors across the UK*. If your company wants to donate or take part in DIY fundraising, Partners in Business is for you.
It's particularly suited to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Especially those looking for a flexible partnership with the NSPCC.
Through Partners in Business, we are able to restrict funding to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. However, we are currently not able to restrict funding to other regions or specific services.
Around 75p in every £1 we spend goes directly to helping children and young people. We spend the rest on making sure the NSPCC is providing the best possible services we can. We spend these funds whenever and wherever they're needed most.
