Help us find new companies to partner with

What’s the project about?

At Breast Cancer Now, we work with some of the largest companies in the UK to raise awareness about breast cancer, and support people who have been impacted.

Some of the companies we work with include:

• Asda
• M&S
• Primark
• Everyone Active
• Karen Millen
• Anne Summers 

These partnerships help us raise between £25,000 and £5 million a year to fund our life-changing research and support. 

Our corporate partnerships team is always looking for new partnerships with organisations who we can work with long term. 

We want to talk to you about the companies you work or have worked for to help us make connections and form new partnerships.  

Who’s organising it?

Name of project lead: Isabella Orford

Job title: Corporate Engagement Manager 

Organisation: Breast Cancer Now 

Email address: isabella.orford@breastcancernow.org

Who can take part?

We’d love to talk to people who:

• Work or have worked in any of the following industries: fast moving consumer goods, finance, insurance, beauty retail, fashion retail, general retail, travel, leisure, hospitality, construction, property, business services
• Work or have worked for a company whose annual turnover is £100 million or more
• Are happy to talk with us about your company’s values and whether you feel they’d be interested in partnering with us. And to possibly introduce us to the right people. 

Why do you want me to be involved? 

It can be hard to make connections with new companies. By talking to you, we can find new businesses that we could approach to partner with. 

We also know that it’s easier to make connections when we have a personal introduction. So, by introducing us to the right people, you can help us create new partnerships and secure vital funding for our work. 

What will you ask me to do?

We’d like to have a 30-minute call with you. This can be at a time that works for you. 

During the call, we’d like you to tell us a bit about the company that you’ve worked for. We’ll ask you about its values and previous partnerships. We’ll also ask about how best to approach them and what they look for in a charity partnership. 

We’d love to know about any connections that you have, and whether you’d be willing to introduce us to the right people so we can start a conversation. 

How do I get involved?

If you’re interested in having a call, please fill out our expression of interest form. It’ll take about 5 minutes, and you’ll be able to tell us the best time for us to call.

We’ll also ask you which sector you work or have worked in, so we can make sure that the right team member contacts you. 

If you have any questions, you can contact Isabella at isabella.orford@breastcancernow.org.

When’s the deadline?
