It’s not all about ‘The Ask’

Secret World Wildlife Rescue seeks to develop partnerships with organisations where engagement can be achieved in a variety of ways, to the benefit of both organisations.

Secret World Wildlife Rescue has much to offer a Corporate Partner, including:

A Beautiful Venue

A beautiful venue within the grounds of Secret World Wildlife Rescue, available for hire at competitive corporate rates for team building days, training events and other business meetings

Volunteering Opportunities for Staff

Volunteering opportunities for staff. Engaging staff in volunteering activities can build team dynamics and engender a sense of achievement and commitment to the charity partnership.

“The marketing team would like to say a thank you to your team for hosting the day for us. The facilities are lovely and the grounds are beautiful! We loved the tour and we had a lovely day.” Centaur Services, Somerset

Challenge Events

Challenge events where you can challenge your colleagues to take part in a selection of activities, whether it’s a fun family event or a more extreme sporting challenge. It’s a great way to push personal achievement and fundraise for wildlife at the same time.

Opportunities for Staff

Opportunities for staff to develop new skills through our wildlife training courses. Continuing Professional Development is often about identifying new areas of interest or developing learning outside of the ‘office’ environment.

Corporate Contribution – share your expertise and resources

At Secret World Wildlife Rescue, there are many ways in which organisations can create a partnership that ‘fits’ their corporate social responsibility objectives, supports their local community and involves their staff. Financial contributions are obviously a high priority for Secret World Wildlife Rescue but other contributions from our partners are just as important:

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are a valuable way to support the animals in our care and help give them the food and treatment they need to ensure they have the best chance of being released back into the wild where they belong.

A few examples of Gifts in kind we welcome:

• End of line stock that Secret World Wildlife Rescue can use directly in the care and treatment of animals or to sell on to raise funds to help with the day-to-day operational costs
• Pro-bono support, such as legal advice, marketing and design expertise, personal development/management training or mentoring
• Raffle or auction prizes for our fundraising events
• Materials to help maintain our grounds and enclosures, such as fencing, tools, plants, wood

Volunteers

Our Open Days and Events are always in need of volunteers to help out and receiving this kind or support from our partners is extremely valuable as it means we put less pressure on our staff and regular volunteers who can then concentrate their work on animal care. Volunteers help with activities such as car parking, refreshments, tombolas and games. Volunteers also provide valuable support helping in our annual maintenance projects.

Retail Challenge

Take over a Secret World Wildlife Rescue Charity Shop for a day and see how much money you can raise. Compete against other corporate partners in this fun entrepreneurial challenge.

Staff Fundraising

Empower your staff to develop their own creative fundraising programme to raise funds and community spirit.
