Corporate Social Responsibility.

We are seeking financial support from companies or individuals who want to make a real difference to the lives of some of the poorest inner city children in Britain.

Bockleton Study Centre is a residential outdoor education centre based in the Worcestershire countryside.  It provides opportunities for the children of Birmingham to have a well deserved break from city life and often a tough home life, to be in an environment that promotes self worth and a chance to form meaningful friendships. During their stay in a Victorian mansion the children will have the chance to experience a range of outdoor activities; rock climbing, horse riding, building dams in a local stream, play hide and seek in our woods; the list is almost endless but the end result of a stay at Bockleton is always happy children with a real sense of achievement.

We are currently working with disabled children and their families as well in an exciting new project called “Short Breaks for Disabled Children.”

We know that the current financial climate is difficult for many, but we know also that it is essential in tough times for organisations to have clear differentiation from competitors. Corporate social responsibility, having a firm commitment to local communities, can and does provide added value in the form of staff loyalty and retention, as well as building or reinforcing a strong sense of corporate identity. It’s good to work for an organisation you can be proud of.

Any contribution you could make would be most welcome and will be acknowledged in full on printed materials in the centre and on the centre website.

To give some ideas the following levels of sponsorship would provide a week long, fully catered, adventure week for the following numbers:

£1,200 – 5 children.

£2,400 – 10 children.

£4,800 – 20 children.

£9,600 – 40 children.

£14,400 – 60 children.

You may prefer to make a one off donation to the centre, or to support the work of the centre in other ways, through voluntary labour, or provision of equipment for example.

If you are interested in making a difference and take corporate social responsibility seriously, please call or email me. I would be delighted to show you and other senior managers around the building so you can see for yourself just how important we are for the children of Birmingham.

It is also possible for us to arrange staff team building / adventure days as well at discounted rates for sponsor organisations; we can discuss this further when you call or visit.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this. You can make a difference; please call soon.
