Tackling the charitable giving question
Charitable giving is big business. According to the Charities Aid Foundation UK, business donated ￡10.3 billion to charities in 2017.
Why?
Quite simply all stakeholder groups believe corporate responsibility generally, and charitable giving in particular, are a good thing.
But which charity to support?
The key is mutual benefit. Support a cause you believe in and which is complementary to your brand.
Customer Plus is organising a fund-raising weekend in June which ticks all the boxes for us. We’re tackling homelessness and child poverty by bringing together Derby City Mission and 100 World Rugby Legends.
I’d love you to get involved, have fun and build relationships while giving to great causes at the same time.
On Friday 21 June you can play golf with a Rugby Legend at Chevin Golf Club, Derby during the day and/or join our Charity Dinner in the evening.
On Saturday 22 June please come to Derby Rugby Club to watch a Derby City Mission Invitation Vets XV take on a star-studded 100 World Legends XV. Watch the likes of British Lion Alan Bateman, All Black Bruce Reihana, Samoan Junior Paramore, Scotland Internationals Dave Hilton, Ally Hogg, Fergus Thomson, and Ireland legends David Corkery and Andy Ward.
The entertainment begins at 12.00pm with lunch and the match kicks off at 1.15pm. Mums and dads of aspiring rugby players may wish their youngsters to join a Rugby Legends coaching session at 11.00am which is free with admission tickets.
Spectator tickets for the rugby with and without lunch can be found here.
If you can’t join the fun in person please consider donating through our Just Giving page.
Watch rugby. Tackle poverty. Have fun. Build relationships.
