corporate support

Press Relief has a range of opportunities for interested companies to support our charity. It is a fantastic way to support your community as well as getting your company image and brand out to a target audience of approximately 95,000 readers weekly. All of our charity fund-raising activities are covered in many of Cambridge Newspapers Ltd's publications.

A partnership with Press Relief can:

• Enhance your corporate image
• Boost staff morale
• Build customer loyalty
• Provide excellent positive PR opportunities

Enter a team in our events

Our biggest challenge is the Bridge the Gap walk which takes place in Cambridge in the late summer/early autumn each year. One of the reasons why it is so popular is because as a "walker" you get chance to see parts of Cambridge colleges and gardens that are not normally open to the public. It is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning and know that you are raising funds for two worthwhile charities at the same time.

Bridge the Gap is different from other sponsored activities in that you dont have to be sporty and it is not a race. The event is planned to be as enjoyable as possible for as wide an audience as possible; so young or old this is for you!

Support this event as a team from your workplace, from one of your social groups or just a group of friends from the pub. Get sponsored to take part and complete the walk.

This year we are celebrating our 10th anniversary and want to make every penny count towards helping the people of Cambridge and the surrounding area.

Charity of the year

Have you considered "adopting a charity" for the year? Many companies choose to focus their charitable support and adopt a specific charity each year. One of the biggest advantages of chosing a local charity is that the benefits can be seen within the local community. This often works most successfully when your staff are involved in all levels of employee fundraising. There is nothing more satisfying in seeing the end result of your fundraising efforts where an individual or group have personally benefitted from the efforts of your people. This can be an inspirational motivator for staff and can bring a whole host of benefits to your company.

Gifts in Kind

Helping us does not have to be monetary based. You may be able to help us in other ways - by offering a venue for an event or by donating goods and services. We have a continuing programme of events throughout the year and are always looking for items for auction, raffles and prize draws. You might have a really special item that we could use and also make sure that your company maximises its media exposure opportunities.
