Corporate
We are enormously fortunate in working with several companies at the moment: Catlin Insurance Group, PMW Communications, Billingshurst Chamber of Commerce, Kavanagh's Budgens, Specsavers Opticians,The Fox Inn, Penningtons Solicitors, George Ide Solicitors and Spofforths Accountants. Please see our Corporate Partners page for further details of these companies.
Corporate support is absolutely essential to the work of the Trust as not only can companies help us financially, but also through their hands-on help via volunteering initiatives such as painting our buildings or making contributions to the upkeep and environment of The School for Parents in both West Sussex and Suffolk. Corporates can also assist us by advertising events on their intranet, rallying employees to get involved or lending us their own particular business expertise. If there is a particular event that you would like to sponsor, please get in touch with the Trust office on 01403 780444.
And of course it works both ways, because we can help you meet your own corporate social responsibility objectives by working with a charitable organisation such as the Trust. So, if you think your company could 'do business' with us, we would absolutely LOVE to hear from you. Visitors are warmly welcomed to experience for themselves the professional and sensitive work carried out at both our School for Parents to help children with cerebral palsy and other motor learning difficulties. They enable the children and their parents to realise their full potential and learn how to make living with their condition a much easier and less daunting prospect.
