Every child deserves to know their rights and where to seek help. Your business could support Freedom’s school education, our Not in My Name campaign, or a defined prevention project. Choose a one-off gift, employee fundraising or a longer-term partnership. For substantial support, we will agree the purpose, realistic full costs, delivery capacity and reporting before making commitments.

A cause your colleagues can stand behind
Help more children learn their rights.
Freedom has books, lessons and safeguarding resources that help schools discuss forced marriage, FGM and where to turn for support. Your organisation could help more schools access those resources, support training for teachers or fund a carefully planned prevention project. Charity of the Year fundraising, matched giving and longer-term support are welcome.
Give with confidence. Freedom is overseen by a Board of Trustees. Our official registration and filed accounts are publicly available. For substantial gifts we discuss an agreed budget, the charity’s capacity to deliver, safeguarding, use of restricted funds and proportionate reporting.

Employee networks
Women’s networks, LGBTQ+ groups and staff associations can choose Freedom for an appropriate fundraising or awareness event.
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.
When LGBTQ+ businesses, networks and allies choose to donate, fundraise or match gifts, that support can help fund Freedom’s safeguarding education, professional training and routes to help. Giving is always a choice, never an expectation.
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
Let’s agree what your support can achieve.
Start with a conversation. Tell us whether you are considering a one-off donation, Charity of the Year, matched or Payroll Giving, a multi-year partnership, or appropriate skills-based volunteering. We can begin with a simple introduction; you do not need a proposal.
Agree the practical details. Together we can choose a realistic activity, name a contact, discuss fundraising and any appropriate acknowledgement, and agree how employees may take part. No partner receives access to confidential safeguarding information or permission to use Freedom’s name without agreement.
Make the arrangement clear. For substantial or restricted funding, we would agree its purpose, delivery capacity, full costs, trustee oversight, appropriate records and reporting. We can report what was delivered and measured, while distinguishing those results from longer-term impact that cannot yet be proved. Read our governance information.
Start a partnership enquirySafeguarding comes first
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.
