How your work/organisation can support us

From nominating Julian House as your ‘Charity of the Year’ to engaging your teams in our wide range of fundraising events, providing invaluable pro-bono assistance, or actively participating in volunteering at our vital projects, Julian House will develop bespoke mutually-beneficial packages helping corporate partners to fulfil and demonstrate their Corporate and Social Responsibility.

Such partnerships not only generate goodwill but also foster a sense of purpose among employees, boosting morale and productivity. Ultimately, partnering with Julian House amplifies your company’s ability to effect positive change, leaving a sense of purpose that goes far beyond the bottom line, whilst helping us to support some of the most marginalised and at-risk people in the South West.

Supporting your CSR objectives

We make it easy to develop a corporate social responsibility agenda that delivers successful outcomes for your business, employees and community.

How Julian House can support your business

Increase your revenue with more contract opportunities

CSR is now a requirement in many tender contracts submissions to both public and private projects. Together we can make this a very simple and meaningful solution for your business and your community – good for the environment, more involvement from your staff and supporting the charity’s life changing work.

Demonstrate to stakeholders your ethical integrity and social value

Julian House supports marginalised individuals across the South West – particularly in the areas of homelessness, domestic abuse and criminal justice. There are many ways that your business can partner with the charity that will be mutually beneficial.

Offer your employees extra benefits’ packages through our services

Julian House also operates two innovative social enterprise bike workshops in Bath and Trowbridge – selling refurbished and new bikes, professional servicing and e-bike hire. We can tailor special arrangements for servicing, repairs, bike hire and much more for your staff – a great addition to your existing staff benefits which also supports wider business goals.

Increase employee engagement, investment, and PR opportunities

Research has found that halo effects from a successful CSR agenda can help with a wide range of business issues; from employees aligning with business goals and commitments, to positive press and PR opportunities – a substantial added benefit, often without incurring any extra expenditure.

How Julian House works

We operate more than 40 different projects, accommodation sites and social enterprises across South West England. These include our homeless outreach services, domestic abuse refuge accommodation, a 20-bed emergency access hostel and various supported housing projects.

We also run multiple training programmes (including at our bike workshops in Bath and Trowbridge) to help people regain confidence, learn new transferable work skills, get back into education, volunteering and employment.

Every year, we support over 2,000 vulnerable individuals

We seek to build a just society where socially excluded people are supported and empowered to build sustainable, independent lives.

How to get involved

Our work wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our corporate partners, support which enables us to care for over 2,000 vulnerable and at-risk individuals every year. You can help us make the difference.

No matter what your size or business, there are options to suit every organisation:

Charity of The Year: as well as raising funds together, it’s great for team building and getting everyone having some fun together both in, and outside the workplace. Whether you choose a charity by staff vote or a pitch process, we are happy to submit a proposal for the partnership and present to your charity committee.
Sponsor a Julian House event: Partnering Julian House in one of our high-profile events during the year provides a great platform to deliver a positive message, engage your colleagues, show your commitment to our cause and gain substantial marketing and PR benefits in the local community and amongst customers.
Employee fundraising: Challenge your colleagues to run their own fundraising events. From dress down days, bakes offs, raffles to golf tournaments – the possibilities are endless!
Offer matched funding: A great incentive for staff to raise money themselves is for the business to match it £ for £ thus doubling the amount raised. This creates a strong sense of team spirit and the company can also benefit from the Gift Aid scheme.
Promote Payroll Giving: Also known as Give As You Earn, is a way that employees can donate to Julian House direct from their salary. The company or pension-provider makes the donation before tax is calculated so the employee does not pay tax on the income they have chosen to donate.
Initiate a sales partnership: There can be huge benefits to the charity if a business were to include a small donation each time they make a sale – this strengthens customer engagement and increases loyalty to the business
Make a corporate donation: Apart from the philanthropic aspect to charitable giving, a limited company will pay less Corporation Tax if they donate money to Julian House.
Offer pro-bono support: We often need advice or support with specialist areas such as retail and marketing.
Gifts in kind: Do you have surplus goods, services or storage space that you could donate/lend to us? Your company’s resources could be an invaluable way to support Julian House and help us deliver our vital work throughout the year. Julian House welcomes goods such as obsolete stock to sell in our shops or use as auction prizes, these items may not cost the business anything but could be hugely beneficial to us.
Volunteering: Julian House couldn’t provide the help and support that it does, without our fantastic volunteers. We have over 400 volunteers across the organisation in a variety of roles that support the day to day running of projects, help us raise funds and give some of our clients important social contact. These roles range from catering at the emergency hostel, stripping bikes at the Bike Workshops, sales assistants at the charity shops, helping at our fundraising events and mentoring.

Royds Withy King chose Julian House as their charity of the year and supported us in a number of ways, from taking part in our events, fundraising within their office and volunteering in our services.
