Opportunities to support Alone in London


	Charity of The Year What better way to involve your staff in supporting our work than by adopting Alone In London as your Charity of The Year! In the recent past, EMAP and Berwin Leighton Paisner adopted us as their Charity of The Year. Presently, MacMillans and etc venues are engaged in a host of events to raise valuable sums that will help us maintain the positive momentum of our support services and our prevention of homelessness programmes.
	Marathon, Triathlon and Global Adventures
	The Flora London Marathon Having our own places in the London Flora Marathon means that Alone In London can raise substantial sums for our young people services. Between employees taking up the challenge and their employers incentivising their staff by matching 100% the sponsorship raised, we can maximise this unique annual fundraising opportunity.
	The London Triathlon Join what is fast becoming the largest triathlon in the world. Taking place around the end of July, this challenge offers competitors an opportunity to compete in a rewarding event that is fast becoming the largest triathlon in the world. We have five places which we would like to be taken up by employees whose employers will 100% match the sponsorship secured.
	Global Adventures We have linked up with Global Adventure Challenges to provide organised unique experiences in destinations such as Borneo, South Africa, Grand Canyon, China, Peru and Everest! Whether it be cycling, trekking, kayaking or rafting, while fulfilling a personal ambition, you will also be raising much needed funds that will enable us to restore stability in the lives of vulnerable young people. To find out more, please go to Global Adventure Challenges’ website www.globaladv.org At Alone In London, please contact Robert Keirans on 020 7841 3736
	Donations Alone In London provides a range of support for young people support in crisis. We are also engaged in prevention programmes in schools, with local authorities and across the UK. We are a people service, which costs some £1.8m each year. Of this, we need to raise some £500,000 this year.
	Raise Awareness Alone In London is keen to raise awareness of its success as an innovative organisation, particularly given how the services it has developed over the recent past have now become ‘standards’. The latest success with The Prevention of Homelessness in Schools Programme reflects our commitment to ensuring we do not lose the potential of so many young people. As a supporter of our work, your ‘spreading the word’ amongst your clients or customers and suppliers will help us connect more and, in turn, attract vital funds.
	Gifts In Kind Considerable savings are made as a result of the thoughtfulness of companies when they are replacing such items as computers, desks and chairs. By donating them to Alone In London, we can ensure the maximum per centage of donations and grants we receive go on meeting the needs of young people in crisis.
	Pro Bono There are projects that can be undertaken that benefit both your staff and Alone In London’s. For example, from time, we need to review our marketing material.
