Companies
Why not get involved with NORCAS by nominating us as your charity of the year, or one of them?
If you need help in understanding more about the benefits you can provide, we have several examples of organisations who are very professional at this.
We’ve also got lots of tips and ideas about how you can raise money, such as:
Staff Fundraising Activities
There are many ways your staff could raise money for NORCAS and have fun at the same time. You could organise a coffee and cake morning for all staff to take part in and maybe invite clients along too. Growing a beard or shaving hair off is always a sure fire way of getting staff to take part in raising money for their colleagues who are bravely taking part! A staff/client quiz night is a fantastic way to raise money and make the most of people's competitive nature.
The list really is endless so why not check out our fundraising pack which is full of handy hints when it comes to organising these type of activities.
Payroll Giving
Payroll giving is a great way for your employees to make a regular contribution to NORCAS directly from their pay.
Payments that employees make through a payroll giving scheme are deducted from their pay before tax. This means employees get tax relief on their donation immediately.
Example
If an employee is a 20% tax payer it would cost them £8 to make a donation of £10. If the employee is a 40% tax payer the same donation would only cost £6.
For more information on setting up a payroll giving scheme for your business and employees visit the HM Revenue and Customs website at www.hmrc.gov.uk.
Groups
Many common interest groups have chosen to support NORCAS as a result of the work we do in their community. A member of our fundraising team can come and visit your group, to tell you more about our work, share some fundraising stories and explain how you can get involved.
We often find these talks help groups to understand how common issues with alcohol, drugs and gambling are, and how their efforts can make a big difference to someone’s life.
