We work with corporate partners across all sectors, united in the mission to end homelessness. By partnering with us, your business can make a tangible impact while also engaging employees in meaningful social action.
Why partner with SPEAR?
Make a real difference
Your company’s support helps SPEAR transform over 800 lives each year from homelessness to independence. We will provide your teams with insights into the current shocking numbers of people rough sleeping and experiencing homelessness through engaging talks to offer a window into our work, our clients and your impact on what we do.
Employee volunteering and skill sharing
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities where employees can apply their professional skills to support our work. This can include:
- Volunteering at SPEAR events like our Health and Wellbeing Days
- Supporting SPEAR staff in areas like digital marketing, social media or other operational areas
- Helping with DIY and decorating to ensure our properties are welcoming to our clients
- Attending local community events to encourage others to support SPEAR
Fundraising and team challenges
From sponsored runs and cycling events to sleep-outs and corporate challenges, we can offer exciting ways for your employees to raise funds to help end homelessness in London. We also offer support for your in-house fundraising initiatives by providing resources and speakers to ensure the success of your events.
Brand visibility and recognition
Your company’s commitment to social responsibility will be highlighted through our social media, press coverage and publications.
Types of corporate support
Your organisation can play a key role in transforming the lives of those facing homelessness. By partnering with SPEAR, your company can help fund vital programmes that create lasting positive outcomes. Our long-term strategic partnerships are designed to tackle specific challenges, ensuring your organisation makes a significant impact while also sharing expertise to enhance and expand our services.
Many companies choose a Charity of the Year to support, providing a focused opportunity to make a meaningful impact. At SPEAR, we work closely with our Charity of the Year partners to engage employees through exciting fundraising initiatives, hands-on volunteering, and cause-led activities that bring them closer to our work. These partnerships are often driven by staff nominations – so if your company is selecting its next charity partner, we’d love to be considered!
Your support will make a direct impact in our work to end homelessness by providing rough sleeper outreach, accommodation and health services to rough sleepers.
We welcome partnerships with brands for cause-related marketing (CRM) campaigns, where a percentage of sales or a fixed donation per product supports SPEAR’s mission. CRM initiatives not only help fund critical services but also raise awareness of homelessness while strengthening your brand’s social impact. By aligning with an established London homelessness charity, you can engage customers in a meaningful way, giving them the opportunity to support your product and help end homelessness at the same time.
Encourage your staff to organise fundraising activities – from coffee mornings to team challenges – to support our clients in moving from homelessness to independence.
Employees can make an immediate impact by donating each month to support our work to end homelessness.
Donations are deducted directly from salaries before tax, making giving tax-effective – a £10 pledge costs just £8 for a standard rate taxpayer or £6 for a higher rate taxpayer. Learn more about Payroll Giving.
If your company offers a matched giving scheme, you can increase the impact of your employees’ donations, maximising support for SPEAR clients.
