As the only charity that specifically supports the RICS community, we're always very grateful when firms in the industry choose to fundraise for us!

We work closely with many firms through our corporate and organisational partnerships. Although it doesn't cost anything to be a partner, many choose to make donations or fundraise to support our work, or alternatively, find ways for their staff to support us. 

The events and activities people organise vary hugely. Many firms love the team-building element that a fundraising event brings, along with the benefits to the physical and mental health of employees. There are loads of fun ways to raise money, including:

• Sporting events like football, golf, or go-karting
  
• Team-building activities like dress down days, cake sales or quiz nights
  
• Challenges like running, walking, or even climbing mountains!

Whatever activity you choose, it's easy to raise funds for LionHeart by setting up a fundraising page through JustGiving. Some firms also match any funds raised for charity, meaning your fundraising could be worth even more!

For example, our corporate partners at Connells Survey & Valuation asked their RICS employees to pledge donations to LionHeart via a Just Giving page they set up - and promised to match the total raised, resulting in a £3,000 donation to support our work.

We'd love to hear about your activity or event in advance so we can support you, answer your questions and help you promote your fundraising efforts.
