‘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.

Leave a legacy

By leaving a gift to Chance to Shine in your will, you can help ensure that we spread the power of cricket to disadvantaged youngsters long into the future.

It’s often quick and easy to set up a legacy and a solicitor is best placed to advise you on how to do this.

If you are thinking of giving in this way, we’d welcome the opportunity to talk to you confidentially. Please email us or call on 020 7735 2881.

In addition to legacy gifts, we’re always touched when we’re chosen as the beneficiary of gifts given in memory. If we can help with the collection of the donations in any way, please get in touch with us by email or call us.
