How can you maximise your chances of winning corporate support in the UK? You need to know which companies give, why they give, what their criteria are and how to ask in the right way. Offering insight into 400 companies that collectively contribute around GBP400 million in the UK cash donations and in-kind support, The Guide to UK Company Giving helps you to do just that.

The guide gives advice on how to develop a successful corporate partnership or sponsor, what to be aware of when seeking company support and guidance on how to apply.
