Corporate Partnerships

The Back-Up Trust has a number of official

Corporate Partners who contribute to the work of the charity in different ways.  These include;

* Sending staff on a Back-Up course - Corporate Buddies - see below;

* Sponsoring one of our Services

* Attending one of our Black Tie dinners

* Entering a team in a fundraising Challenge Event

* Sponsoring a Fundraising Event

* Employee volunteering

* Having an Office Wheelchair Skills Day.

* Your own idea!

There is no such thing as a "standard" partnership with Back-Up - we aim to meet the individual needs of your business whilst benefiting people with spinal cord injury at the same time, and we always like to hear new suggestions!

Being a Back-Up Corporate Buddy Partner

A Back-Up course offers a unique development opportunity for your staff, whether they have any prior experience of spinal cord injury or not.  As a Back-Up Corporate Buddy your company would pay for you to attend a week's Back-Up course giving you the chance to test all of the competencies required for your job in a new, challenging environement.

What previous Corporate Buddies have had to say;

 

"Back-Up made me more confident in communicating with people I don’t know, more confident in myself and in my abilities."

Gary, RBS Buddy 2007

“My experience was not about just getting to know people but getting to understand them” 

                                                                      Hesther, Waitrose Buddy 2008

                                                                                                                

“The self leaning that happened for me in the course enabled me when arriving back in branch to look deeper in to why I managed in a certain way.” 

                                                                           Giles, Waitrose Buddy 2008

                                                                                                           

"I expected to be working as a team, to have fun, and most of all I expected to be inspired ... and I wasn't disappointed.”

                                                                     

                                                                               Gareth, RBS Buddy, 2008

Sending employees on a Back-Up course offers a learning opportunity that is hard to find in corporate training; one that has a deep, lasting impact on a person's performance, makes a huge contribution to charity, and is fun as well!
