Corporate Partnerships - Our Corporate Investors in Nature Programme

Our partners appreciate the opportunity to align their brand with the leading invertebrate conservation organisation in Europe, seeing the importance of the work we do to safeguard the small things that run the planet.

We have many years of experience of developing high-value, high-profile corporate-charity partnerships and we are well placed to develop a partnership tailored to the specific needs of your organisation.

How we work

There are many motivations for going into a partnership with a charity, so we take a consultative approach to the development of corporate relationships – we discuss with you your picture of the ideal partnership, what you want to get from it and we identify how we can best fulfil those needs.

Whether your motivation is to create a cause related marketing campaign, grow sales, staff or customer engagement, PR, or if seeking to re-enforce your sustainability credentials – Buglife can work with you to address your requirements.

Buglife is registered with the Payroll Giving Agency, Giveall

Giveall is an HMRC approved Payroll Giving platform and pass on 100% of ever donor’s payroll giving donation to us no later than two working days from the date they receive the funds from a donor’s employer. Payroll Giving is a valuable source of income for us here at the charity and receiving the funds on a Giveall scheme means we don’t lose out on commissions and unnecessary fees. Payroll Giving allows a donor to make a tax-free donation to a charity, therefore there is an upfront benefit to every donor to support us in this way. For example, if you are a 20% tax-payer and set up a donation of £10 to the centre from your monthly salary, it is taken from your gross salary meaning that you only drop by £8 in your net salary but the centre will receive £10. Not only that, in these days where regular funds are vital to help us continue the work we do here at the charity, we can have access to the funds quickly.

If you are a business owner or part of an HR team and don’t know much about Payroll Giving but would like to add this to your employee benefits package, we can arrange for Giveall to call you and help you set up a scheme and share ideas on how to promote it to your employees. Many employers are now adding payroll giving to their existing benefits package as it demonstrates their CSR commitment to support good causes.

Please CLICK HERE to complete the enquiry form and Give All will be in touch.

Our essential raw material for making cider are local cider apples. The existence of our business is predicated on the work of insect pollinators who ensure the continuation and success of the yearly apple crop. We think of sunshine and rain as being necessary but insect pollination underpins the whole process.
We believe the work of Buglife in protecting insects is vital to maintaining the health of our ecosystems and life on our planet, so we have decided to support them.

Papillons

Papillons is a sustainable clothing brand, established in Rushden, Northamptonshire by Niamh Bayes. I was becoming more and more aware of the damage that we as a species are doing to our planet and the impact that damage has on our wildlife, I also noticed that while there are many eco-friendly ways to shop now, there is a lack of sustainable clothing brands. And so, I thought why not get my creative head on and merge the two! So here we have Papillons, clothing made from environmentally friendly materials such as recycled polyester and delivered in biodegradable packaging! I was adamant that Papillons still needed to do more to have a positive impact on our wildlife as all animals play an important role in keeping our eco system alive. I have teamed up with charities such as Buglife and The Bumblebee Conservation Trust, so that for each item of clothing sold, 10% of the sale will go to supporting those charities! As a very new brand, I am still bursting with new ideas for designs so come and say Hello on the Papillons instagram page @papillons.clothing where you can see the newest pieces, some behind the scenes, and feel free to tag papillons when you’re styling! I have had so much fun creating these designs and I hope you have fun wearing them.”
