Support from Companies and Charitable Trusts is vital to our continuing work with vulnerable families. Whilst we are not a widely recognisable brand, we are known to the thousands of parents/carers whose children are in State schools across England and Wales, and have an excellent reputation for supporting them when they face difficulties with education issues.
Our vision is of a fair education system for everyone, but we can only achieve that with your support.
COMPANIES
We reach over 90,000 families each year, providing information, advice and support. As the leading organisation covering the full range of issues such as special educational needs, exclusions and bullying, we are often called upon to comment on related media stories, and despite being a small team, we punch above our weight.
Many of your staff and colleagues will have children in school, so partnering with us will demonstrate your commitment to ensuring that all children get the best out of their education. Issues such as getting into the school of choice or bullying are sadly common and that's where ACE steps in to help. We would love to hear from you if you share our goals.
Have you considered Payroll Giving?
This is a tax-efficient way of donating money directly from your wages. As the money you give comes out of your salary before tax, a monthly donation of £5 only costs a basic-rate taxpayer £4 (the taxman pays the rest!).
Research shows that 96% of companies think that Payroll Giving is something a good employer should offer.
If you would like to donate to ACE through Payroll Giving, first speak to your Finance Department. If your company doesn't yet have a scheme up and running, they can set one up quickly and easily - it is cheap to do and it's shown to be good for business!
Please contact the Fundraising Department on 020 7704 3370, or via enquiries@ace-ed.org.uk for more information.
