Teapot Trust has produced a Case for Support for Corporate Partners that sets out how we envisage working with corporates for mutual benefit. Please take a look and get in touch with caitlin@teapot-trust.org to start a conversation. Thank you.

TEAPOT TRUST CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP SCHEME

Join us in transforming the lives of children, young people, and their families who live with long-term, and often painful health conditions that seriously impact their mental health. Examples of long-term chronic health conditions are cystic fibrosis, juvenile arthritis, kidney disease, and muscular dystrophy.

Why choose Teapot Trust?

Shockingly, in the UK, almost a third of young people below the age of 21 who die by suicide, have a long-term health condition that takes its toll on their mental health. By supporting Teapot Trust, you’ll help us protect ‘at risk’ young people and give them the coping tools they need so they no longer feel their lives are defined by their health condition. Our art therapy is a proven medical intervention with 93% of participants making good process toward their goals. It is transformational.

Teapot Trust’s Corporate Membership offering has been created to help you fulfil your sustainability goals while developing an income stream to advance our important work.

The main benefits to you are:

·       Demonstrating your company’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and promoting your company values

o   Mental health affects everyone but need is acute amongst young people living with chronic health conditions as demonstrated above.

 

·       Establishing or affirming your status as a sustainable and ethical organisation – helping you to meet several of the UN Sustainability Goals including supporting good health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities

o    Teapot Trust works hard to overcome known health inequalities and to meet need where it is felt most profoundly – chronic illness in children being 2.5 times more prevalent in areas of social disadvantage

 

·       Engaging your staff and stakeholders in a meaningful and worthwhile cause which has relevance and resonance to them 

o    1 in 4 children and young people have a long-term health condition or physical disability which means around a quarter of your staff and wider community are likely to be impacted in some way

What Teapot Trust can offer you:

·       Meaningful volunteering opportunities for your staff including giving specialist pro-bono support or serving as a trustee of Teapot Trust

·       Access to our wellbeing workshops and therapeutic art resources to support the mental health of your staff and their families

·       Bespoke initiatives such as helping your HR team ensure fair provision is made to support your staff impacted by long-term/chronic/physical health conditions e.g. reducing the disability employment gap, supporting carers, and addressing any structural inequalities that exist

·       Promotion of your brand across our communication channels

·       Dedicated support from our corporate fundraiser for staff members who want to take on fundraising challenges in aid of Teapot Trust

What your support means for Teapot Trust:

·       Provides unconditional funding which enables us to respond to need where it is greatest and supports the overall sustainability of the charity

·       Raises awareness of both the mental health impacts of long-term health conditions, and the positive difference that art therapy makes to wellbeing

·       Improves the lived experience of the children, young people and families we support

·       Encourages wider support for our cause, engaging more people in fundraising events and activities

What is the cost to you?

We’re asking just £7,500 for a 12-month membership which will be reviewed on completion of our 2024-2025 partnerships.
