Charity of the Year

Charity of the year status allows you to concentrate all your fundraising efforts for the year on Caldecott and it means all your team can develop a relationship with us and join in with the fundraising fun.

You could put on your own fundraising events, get a team together and take one of our challenges or take a day out of the office, come to Caldecott and take part in a volunteering project to improve the surroundings for our children.

Payroll Giving

By setting up a Payroll Giving scheme, you will be providing an easy and efficient way for your employees to donate to Caldecott on a regular basis. There are no set up costs and all you have to do is sign up with a Payroll Giving Agency (which has been approved by HM Revenue and Customs) who will administer your scheme. Payroll Giving is also the most tax efficient way to give as the donations are made before tax deductions and so, unlike Gift Aid, we will receive all the tax you would have paid including at the higher rate.

For further information and advice on Payroll Giving visit the CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) website.

Sponsoring an Event or Donating a Raffle Prize

Companies can also help us create dazzling events by providing Event Sponsorship or donating prizes for raffles and auctions. In return we can offer great partnership branding and different opportunities for client entertainment. To get the latest information on our upcoming events click here.

Collection Boxes

All donations, both big and small, are important and if you have a suitable area where we can place a collection box such as in reception, by the photocopier or at your tills, then let us know.

Gifts in Kind

Caldecott is always looking for kind companies who can help by donating goods to help with the upkeep of our houses and school buildings. If you can offer building materials, furniture, garden goods, ‘new’ quality toys, books or equipment we would be thrilled to hear from you.

Our children also love any opportunity to attend shows and events so if you would like to donate tickets or outing opportunities, please also get in touch.
