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
Our work with QBE started in 2016 with their support for our Changing Lives grant programme, which provides funding for people experiencing homelessness to enter into external courses, gain accredited qualifications and to start up their own enterprises.
In January 2020 we were delighted to be chosen by QBE as their national charity partner for 3 years and since then they have supported our fundraising campaigns 'In This Together' and 'Home for All' and also provided funding for our Structured Coaching offer in our London Skylight centre. Structured coaches offer one-to-one, tailored support that helps address individual needs and builds on people’s unique strengths towards agreed goals.
QBE employees have tirelessly fundraised for Crisis, taking part in sporting challenges and volunteering over 150 hours of their time to work in our warehouse.
We are so grateful to QBE for choosing to stand side by side with people experiencing homelessness.
