Becoming a partner of Crisis will support you and your colleagues to play a part in ending homelessness for good. The Partnerships team will help you to fundraise creatively and engage in inspiring volunteering opportunities, to show you the impact of your support.
Corporate supporters of Crisis give more than just money. Their time, energy and expertise supports homeless people at our Skylight centres to find their confidence and re-enter employment; our Best Practice team to develop sector-leading policy recommendations; and our Christmas guests to take their first steps out of homelessness.

“Volunteering with the corporate partnerships team has enabled me to help donors understand what homelessness really means, when they might not have fully understood it before. Many of the attendees at Welcome to Crisis mornings are surprised by the severity of the situation, but are hopefully also uplifted by hearing how Crisis got me back on my feet and supported me out of homelessness” – Matthew, Crisis member ambassador
The Wimbledon Foundation has supported Crisis' rapid rehousing services in London since August 2020. Rapid rehousing teams at Crisis work to move people experiencing homelessness into stable accommodation as quickly as possible, which reduces the length of stays in crowded and unsafe temporary accommodation or hostels.
The Foundation currently funds Housing First coaches and the pan-London Housing Procurement team, who work with landlords to ringfence high quality and affordable housing for our members.
The Foundation also volunteer their time at our Christmas warehouse, and have given gifts of Championship towels and tickets to Crisis staff and members.
To find out more about the partnership please contact Ella Dinsdale, Corporate Partnerships Account Manager at Crisis ella.dinsdale@crisis.org.uk.

Lockdown has challenged Crisis and our corporate partners to engage staff in new ways. The partnerships team have reflected on how Crisis staff have been supported since the pandemic began, and reached out to some of our corporate partners to understand how they have engaged their staff in this past year of remote working and uncertainty.
Lockdown has prompted many among us to become highly creative in the ways we connect with loved ones and colleagues, and as such virtual gifts have experienced a renaissance of sorts. The Tesco Mobile (SIM) card campaign took Crisis' virtual fundraising to a new level in Christmas 2020 with our first ever collaborative gift, with Tesco Mobile staff and customers raising an incredible total of over £75,000 in support of our work to end homelessness.
