Corporate
AXA
Insurance company AXA found a novel way of generating funds for its chosen charity when it invited the Invitation Book to run a fundraising sales day in its Bristol and Coventry offices. AXA is a major employer in both the Bristol and the Coventry areas and supports many local charities, schools and community groups, as well as having an annual chosen charity, via its Hearts in Action programme.
"Initiatives like the Invitation Book can help companies raise money for their chosen charities and demonstrate commitment to their local communities. I would thoroughly recommend it as a fundraising method."
Karen Davidson, Hearts in Action advisor
White Young Green Planning
"White Young Green Planning has been proud to support the Invitation Book by supplying each of its colleagues with their own copy for the past two years. The books are always so well received".
Gary Morris
Wragge & Co LLP, Birmingham
“We were delighted to be involved with Invitation. It gave us
the opportunity to raise much-needed funds for our own local nominated charity,
Fireside. At the same time, it allowed us to provide the whole firm with the
opportunity to benefit from discounts to a variety of their favourite local
and national businesses”
Steven Butts, Head of Community Support.
HBOS Card Services, Cardiff Bay and Cardiff Gate
“The Communications Team visited all colleagues personally to show them
the book and make the sales and was delighted when 99 copies were sold. This
meant a total donation of £247.50 could be made to our chosen charity,
The George Thomas Hospice Care Centre”
Lloyds TSB
“As a member of Lloyds TSB Charity Committee and someone who has just
discovered The Invitation Book, I would like to say how excellent a concept it
is. Within a few minutes of having the book I had sold 20 copies as people soon
realised they could recover the cost of the book after using just one of the
hundreds of vouchers. Thank you for providing us with such a fantastic fundraising
opportunity. This year our nominated charity is the NSPCC and Invitation
will certainly greatly assist our fundraising effort.’
Carol Hibberd
Deloitte & Touche LLP
"Over the last three years this excellent scheme has proven extremely popular with staff at Deloitte, and has also provided great fund raising opportunities for our office charities including Birmingham Children's Hospital and Marie Curie Cancer Care."
Shirley Wilson
Bridgend County Borough Council
"Everybody benefitted. Sony were able to offer their employees a fun incentive, the council was able to invest more in its sports facilities and the employees were motivated to get excited about sport. We would certainly recommend the Invitation Book as an exciting method of fundraising."
Wayne Hall, Business Development Manager
