Become a Corporate Partner and join Anna Freud

Together, we can achieve our vision of a world where every young person achieves their full potential.

We are facing an unprecedented challenge in children and young people’s mental health and we rely on the support of companies who can dedicate time, money, and energy into continuing our vital work.

By combining our 70 years of experience pioneering mental health care with the skills, resources, networks and enthusiasm of our corporate partners’ staff and customers, we can get united behind a simple idea: we can all play a part in giving children a bright future.

The multifaceted approach in their mission to transform the experience of children and young people, together with our shared commitment of shining a light on mental health, led to Jo Malone London’s desire to partner with and support them on their journey. Jo Malone London has supported their Schools in Mind programme, funding resources for more than 8,000 schools in the UK. Jo Malone London

How we can work together

1 in 6 children in the UK have a probable mental health disorder – there are lots of ways we can partner together so they receive the support they need:

Charity of the Year – Why not nominate us as your workplace Charity of the Year? We will offer your workplace a bespoke package to ensure you and your colleagues get the most out of your relationship with us.
Change-making Partnership – Your company could fund a specific area of our work you are passionate about that aligns with your strategy. Your team could also use your resources to help raise awareness of our work.
Brand Partnership – You could use your brand to support Anna Freud – selling products, tickets or services in aid of the charity and donating the proceeds.

Children are the future, and your work is investing in that future. The biggest benefit is you support the whole ecosystem around a child, which has a ripple effect of knowledge-sharing throughout communities. You’re shedding a light on mental health which is a founding principle for a better world.” Jennifer Chamandi

Payroll giving - Payroll giving is a simple and tax-efficient way of making a regular donation to us. You can speak to your HR department about setting up a regular gift to Anna Freud through your salary. 
Match funding - If you're fundraising for us, check if your employer will agree to match whatever you raise - this is a great way to double your fundraising total.

As someone who has witnessed first-hand the effects of mental health I was humbled to be able to raise awareness of the Anna Freud Centre’s incredible work. It opened my eyes to the extent of research undertaken to drive innovation in this field. Marathon runner, Royal Bank of Scotland
