Here at QEF, our partnerships are of vital importance. Whether you support us through sponsorship, taking part in our fundraising events or helping on a Corporate Volunteering Day you are making a real difference empowering independence for the 10,000+ disabled adults and children we work with.
As we head into a new financial year, we wanted to let you know of just some of the ways you can partner with us: Perhaps you could take on a challenge or team building activity?
We have so many different ways you can take part either as an individual or as part of a team!
Meet Some of Our Partners
ESP Utilities Group is one the UK’s largest and longest established independent providers of multi-utility networks to homes, industries and businesses. Based locally in Leatherhead QEF were chosen as their COTY in 2023. ESP have been incredibly supportive having donated computer equipment, undertaken volunteering opportunities, including grounds maintenance here at the CRC, adapted children’s toys at Christmas as well as making a significant donation and signing up for various challenge events. We are very proud of this incredible partnership.
We have four fantastic runners from ESP Utilities Group taking part in the London 10k in July and a 16 strong team doing The Nuts Challenge in September in support of QEF.
Thank you so much!
Barclays Bank – over the past 12 months we have been building a fantastic partnership with Barclays who have joined us for gardening projects as well as supporting us at our Spring Lunch event.
“Earlier in the week a fantastic group of colleagues and I gave up our time for the day to support the amazing charity Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) based in Surrey. Truly inspiring and humbling listening and understanding the impact this charity has had on both children and adults with physical and learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries. Circumstances can change in our lives overnight. “
Elizabeth Yiangou, Business Development Manager VP Barclays Mortgages
Spotlight On Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving (sometimes known as Give As You Earn) is a simple way of donating through your salary.
Payroll Giving is very flexible, convenient and one of the most tax efficient ways to support our work. Your donation comes straight from your gross salary, before tax is deducted, so we receive more money at no extra cost to you.
Received a boost in your pay packet from the 2p National Insurance cut? Why not send the difference to QEF? You can either amend or set up a new Payroll Giving today!
For more information please email the team on corporate@qef.org.uk
London Marathon News
On the 21 April we had a team of runners take on the London Marathon!
Luckily the sun was shining and we had 28 runners cross the line with smiles on their faces.
We are lucky to have had runners from our corporate supporters (Zircon, Hoares Bank, Centrica and Microsoft) take on this incredible challenge.
As a team, an incredible £70,000+ has already been raised for QEF!
Huge congrats #TeamQEF!
