Fundraising
Run Your Own Event
Running your own event on behalf of Discover is a great way of supporting the work that we do with and for children and their families. It can be as something as manageable as organizing a bring-and-buy sale or coffee morning, running a staff raffle at your firm’s Christmas Party, giving us a percentage of a day’s trading at your company, or arranging a glitzy event somewhere special.
Corporate Giving
From the street outside Discover you can see the City skyline. Help us to establish a connection between that skyline and the community struggling in its shadow. For example, one of our corporate donors sponsors our 500 Families Programme for disadvantaged families in Newham. This enables children and families to visit Discover as many times as they like in the year, giving them the chance to learn and play together in a safe and fun environment. In return employees can work on our Garden Days, under the tutelage of a professional landscape gardener and have the opportunity to team build.
Sponsoring part of Discover’s year round work is another good way of helping us have an impact in the community. For example:
Sponsor our Events Programme
Discover hosts an extensive events programme throughout the year. From street dancing and Sing Along-a-Stories, to making an Easter bonnet or decorating an enchanted forest… dozens of arts activities a year add value to the Discover experience. For £500 your company’s name will appear as the main sponsor on one event, guaranteed to bring a smile to scores of local children.
Sponsor A Community And Education Project
Discover’s Community and Education team provides a host of essential work with nurseries, primary schools and community groups. All the projects give children and their carers a chance to be creative with professional artists and Story Builders, opening the doors of the imagination for thousands of children.
