Corporate partnerships with Crisis

An introduction to our Corporate Partnerships team.

Crisis is proud to announce that our partnership with Tesco Mobile has been shortlisted for two categories in the 2021 Third Sector Business Charity Awards.

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.

We would like to say a huge thank you to our corporate partners for their continued support last year during the coronavirus outbreak and for working with us to ensure that no one was homeless and alone over the Christmas period.

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.
