Corporate gifts
Your organisation can make a real and lasting impact by providing corporate gifts to children in care, care‑experienced young people and the foster carers who support them across North Tyneside.
By choosing to donate or sponsor gifts, you’ll be helping to create positive experiences, whether celebrating a young person’s achievements, supporting them through challenging times or recognising the dedication of our incredible foster carers. Your contribution helps young people feel valued and supported, while showing foster carers that their vital role in our community is truly appreciated.
We offer a range of opportunities to suit your level of support, from sponsoring individual gifts to providing gifts for wider events, celebrations and activities for foster carers. Gifts can be tailored or branded, creating a meaningful connection between your brand and the people you’re supporting.
By partnering with us, your organisation can:
- Enhance your social impact by supporting local children, young people, and foster families
- Demonstrate your commitment to community and social responsibility in a way that resonates with colleagues, customers and stakeholders
- Build positive brand association with care, compassion and community investment
- Help create memorable moments that make children, young people and foster carers feel valued and recognised.
Match funding
Providing match funding is a powerful way for organisations to demonstrate genuine corporate social responsibility and directly support care‑experienced young people as they move into independence.
By matching public or community contributions, your organisation can double the impact of local giving, helping us deliver an inspiring Care Leavers Celebration Event supporting a youth-led fund to allow other care experienced young people to try cultural activities and a meaningful programme of activities throughout Care Leavers Month.
Your support enables us to recognise personal achievements, build confidence and create positive experiences for young people who may not have traditional networks of support.
Match funding also offers your organisation the opportunity to show visible commitment to social equity, strengthen its community profile and make lasting difference to the lives of care leavers across North Tyneside.
