‘Gifts in kind’ and pro-bono support

Could you support us by donating products from your company, or through offering your professional advice or services?

This can be an easy and valuable way to support Chance to Shine as it helps the charity to save money and invest more into our programmes. It can also help you and your company to demonstrate your commitment to your corporate social responsibility.

If you’d like to discuss supporting us in this way, please email us or call 020 7735 2881.

Gifts in kind can help save valuable resources as well as enable us to fundraise more effectively, meaning that even more money can be spent directly on paying for young people to take part in the programme.
