How to Help - Corporate Giving

Businesses can help too!

* Enhance your brand values and profile by association with a respected Kent charity

* Gain company name exposure at a popular family attraction with over 110,000 visitors per year

* Improve the quality of your community investment - we provide tangible local impact

You could host an entertainment at the Rare Breeds Centre for clients and their families - we can even provide your own picnic area or marquee. We also have dedicated conference facilities for events, training and meetings.

Your company could become a Business Supporter through contributing to a specific project. As a project sponsor, your company will automatically receive corporate membership of our Business Supporters Club for twelve months which carries a range of benefits depending on the level of support - for example name association on high profile activities down to a free annual pass for you and your family to the Rare Breeds Centre. We should be delighted to discuss these with you.

Planning to entertain your clients, throw a staff party or organise a team night out? Please help by making it in aid of Canterbury Oast Trust and joining our Great Kent Party campaign. Why not choose us as your 'Charity of the Year' and encourage Payroll giving?

Involving your staff in fundraising is excellent for team building and motivation or if you are applying for 'Investors in People' status! , You could set aside a dedicated volunteering day at your company, (we can provide many opportunities ranging from environmental conservation projects to decorating one of our care homes). You can make a donation in kind too - office supplies or other materials are always very much appreciated.
