Organise a workplace event for charity

There are lots of ways your company and staff can fundraise for us and workplace events are a great way to boost morale and team-building while also helping a good cause. 

Almost 90% of our funding comes from donations, so your support is crucial in allowing us to deliver our vital services to the thousands of local people who need them. Your business will also benefit, as charitable workplace events help to increase brand awareness as well as contributing towards your corporate and social responsibility objectives.

Whether you opt for a socially responsible bake sale, ‘Dress-down’ Day, charity breakfast or a sponsored event, we’ll provide whatever support you need to get going.

  • At least 80p in every £1 raised or donated is spent delivering our life-changing care and prevention services, as well as funding local research into these illnesses.

    How does NICHS spend donations?

    Thanks to our loyal supporters we raised more than £3.35 Million last year to support our programmes across Northern Ireland.

    £1.39 Million was spent on delivering our care support programmes, £576k was spent on delivering our prevention programmes and £736k on local research into chest, heart and stroke related conditions.

    In other words, for every £1 raised, around 80p, went directly to funding our care and prevention programmes as well as research to help fight chest, heart and stroke conditions.

    How you can help

    Over 335,000 people in Northern Ireland are living with chest, heart and stroke conditions, and these illnesses are responsible for 37% of all adult deaths every year. That's almost 6,000 people. Every day across Northern Ireland 11 people will suffer a stroke and 17 will have a heart attack.

    With your support we are able to continue our vital care and prevention work across the community, caring for people who are living with chest, heart and stroke conditions and helping prevent people becoming ill in the first place.


    Support us today and help us lead the fight against chest, heart and stroke illnesses across Northern Ireland.

    Donate

  • Gift Aid is a scheme that allows charities to reclaim tax on donations made by UK taxpayers.

    The scheme allows us to reclaim 25% on qualifying donations and the additional income makes a big difference – enough to fund a local research project.

    So please consider gift aiding your donations if you are a UK taxpayer.
