How your Company can help
The huge range of conditions that the Foundation covers means that staff will be able to relate to the cause and our size means that your support could make a real difference.
Here are a few ideas:
• Donations and Grants - We have many projects which are looking for sponsorship from companies like yours. From putting your name to one of our fundraising events through to sponsoring one of our booklets.
• Sponsor a booklet - The Foundation now publishes and distributes 27 booklets covering a range of neurological conditions and procedures.
Tens of thousands of these booklets are distributed every year, both via our website and in hard copies, to people all over the UK. All the booklets are available for sponsorship.
Contact Ken Walker for further information.
• “Charity of the Year” - Does your company have one? If so it would be fantastic if you could nominate the Brain and Spine Foundation. This is a great way of giving something back, and having fun in the process. Do think of us next time.
• Send your clients Foundation Christmas Cards - Personalised and corporate Christmas cards can be printed with your choice of greeting, and additional details such as your name, address and telephone number. Signatures and logos can also be printed on company Christmas Cards. We receive 20p for each corporate card you send.

• Set up a payroll giving scheme - Payroll Giving is a quick and simple way to support the Foundation. Find our more.
Payroll Giving Grants - the programme rewards small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that establish Payroll Giving, with a one-off grant of up to £500. The programme will match, pound-for-pound, the first £10 of each employee's monthly donations for a period of six months. So what are you waiting for!
