Partnership working

Creating a Payroll giving scheme for your employees is quick and easy. All your employees’ donations are sent directly to a Payroll Giving Agency (PGA) who will handle the transfer of funds directly to Eden Valley Hospice/Jigsaw, or any other charity they may choose to support.

Payroll giving is a great way to make a regular tax free gift to the hospice. It’s the only way of giving to charity that allows full tax relief on donations, and there are virtually no set-up costs.

If you would like someone from Eden Valley Hospice / Jigsaw to come and speak to your staff about the scheme please contact Martha Pardoe, our Relationship Fundraiser, at martha.pardoe@edenvalleyhospice.org or call her on 01228 810801.

Choosing the hospice as your corporate charity partner will not only help you reach your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives, but will also allow your business to engage your team with a unified cause of support, benefitting the local families that support your business, everyday.  By committing to the hospice as your cause year round, and creating a target that you feel achievable for your business, your teams focused effort will create opportunities for team building, enhancing working relationships and increasing group morale knowing they are giving back to the local community they are such a part of.

A partnership with Jigsaw can be mutually beneficial. Whatever the motivation may be, we work closely alongside our corporate supporters to explore and develop opportunities to meet the objectives of both organisations.

A partnership with Jigsaw can also have some fantastic commercial advantages, such as:

• Raising your company image whilst interacting with the local community
• Being able to develop and enhance relationships with customers and networks
• Giving your business ‘the edge’ against your competitors, making it easier to recruit employers
• Being included in our press releases/ social media updates, generating more positive publicity and brand awareness for your business
• Fantastic team building opportunities, boosting morale within your workforce. Employees tend to be better motivated and more productive
