There are a number of ways you and your company can make a difference to the lives of bereaved families and to help us invest into lifesaving research.

Company Donations
We rely on the generosity of companies, company trusts, foundations and charity committees. Many of these donations are a result of staff nominations by you and your colleagues. Thank you.
Payroll Giving
Payroll giving is a great way for you to give to charity straight from your salary. It is tax effective – so you can give more for less! It’s easy to set up and it shows strong charitable support. Choose Sands for your payroll giving scheme.

Staff at Tozers chose Sands as their Charity of the Year in 2018. During the year we raised £10,000 through various fundraising iniatives such as our Family Fun Day, Tough Mudder, cake bakes, quizzes, tuck shop sales and more. @SandsUK @SandsExeter https://t.co/swb16co7HS pic.twitter.com/yPCkRYYdnF

From cake sales and quizzes to golf days and galas, an event in aid of Sands is a great way to boost morale and is also a fantastic opportunity to get your customers, clients and suppliers involved.
We have a selection of challenge events for you and your colleagues and we can supply fundraising materials such as literature, collection buckets, posters and t-shirts.
Strategic partnerships
Together with @poconido we are taking tiny steps to help save babies lives. As part of their 2019 good causes pledge, Poco Nido will be donating £1 from the sale of every pair of Carnival print mini shoes sold to Sands.
