A cause your colleagues can stand behind
Make Freedom your Charity of the Year.
A Charity of the Year partnership gives your staff a shared cause and a practical way to take part. Colleagues could run a challenge, hold a fundraising day, arrange matched giving or support an agreed education or prevention project.
We can discuss your aims, provide approved information about Freedom and agree how to report on the activities your support funds. We will never invent a cost per child protected or present downloads as proof that abuse was prevented.
Ways to partner
Choose what works for your business.
Employee fundraising
Team walks, quizzes, workplace events and individual challenges. We can help you find a suitable way to take part.
Matched giving
Support your employees’ fundraising through your existing matching scheme, if you have one.
Corporate donations
Make a qualifying company donation or discuss support for an agreed area of Freedom’s charitable work.
Red Triangle campaigns
Use Freedom’s genuine badge and approved campaign materials to raise awareness of FGM in your organisation.
Employee networks
Women’s networks, LGBTQ+ groups and staff associations can choose Freedom for an appropriate fundraising or awareness event.
Strategic partnerships
For major gifts, trusts, foundations and substantial programme funding, we have a separate route for detailed discussions.
LGBTQ+ businesses, Pride and staff networks
Freedom to love. Freedom to choose. Freedom from abuse.
Nobody should be forced into marriage because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
LGBTQ+ people can face pressure, threats and family abuse when relatives reject their identity or relationships. Forced marriage can be used to try to control whom someone loves or how they live. Freedom wants more people to recognise the risk, challenge the abuse and know where to turn for help.
We welcome approaches from LGBTQ+ owned businesses, Pride organisers, employee networks, inclusive professional groups and companies seeking a charity partner. Your organisation can support prevention and safeguarding without asking anyone to disclose their identity or personal experiences.
Bring your workplace together
Organise a staff event, matched-giving appeal or agreed awareness activity. We can discuss using approved Freedom information and a fundraising route that suits your organisation.
Partner through a Pride event
If you organise Pride or another community event, contact Freedom about a suitable fundraising partnership. No affiliation or event appearance should be announced until agreed.
Fundraising enquiries are separate from confidential safeguarding enquiries. We do not use a person’s disclosure, identity or experience of abuse as a condition of help, and we do not ask partners to identify LGBTQ+ employees or beneficiaries.
From an idea to a partnership
Make a plan we can deliver together.
Start with a conversation. Tell us what your organisation has in mind: a one-off employee fundraiser, a year-long Charity of the Year, a matched-giving scheme or a substantial charitable gift.
Agree the practical details. We can discuss the proposed activity, realistic dates, use of the charity’s name and approved materials, fundraising methods and the contact responsible for the partnership.
Make the arrangement clear. For significant or restricted support, we would need to agree the purpose, capacity, costs, governance and appropriate reporting before making public commitments.
Thank your people properly. We want colleagues to know what they have supported. We distinguish activities and reach from outcomes that need independent evidence.

Support that respects everyone.
Forced marriage can affect people of any gender, including LGBTQ+ people facing pressure or threats because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. No employee needs to disclose their identity or experiences to support our work.
If someone needs help, they should be able to access it privately. Fundraising enquiries and safeguarding enquiries must remain separate.
