Corporate and Partnerships

Since opening our doors in 1883, the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home have forged strong connections with businesses, workplaces and groups throughout East and Central Scotland.

We believe there are no limits for partnerships, whether it’s through a one-time fundraising event or a long-term collaboration. You can contribute in various meaningful ways, from donating time and food to sharing expertise and knowledge. Whatever the form of partnership, all the funds we raise directly benefit the dogs and cats in our care.

Here are a few ways your business can make a difference:  

 

Corporate Partnerships

At Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, we know that the support of our corporate partners is key to helping us care for the animals who need us. Whether you’re looking to get involved with a one-time event, sponsor a community outreach program, or build a long-term partnership, we’d love to find a way to work together. 

Here’s how you can make a difference: 

Long-Term Partnerships: Work with us on ongoing projects that align with your company’s values and goals.  

Community Sponsorships: Be a part of our outreach programs and make a direct impact on our community. 

One-Time Events: Talk to us about supporting our events.  Whether it is being a part of our Community Day or getting your team involved with events in our calendar!

In Kind Donations

We’re incredibly grateful to the generous public and businesses who donate items such as food, treats, blankets, and toys. These donations ensure our dogs and cats have everything they need during their stay with us, and directly support our Pet Food Bank and families in need. 

You can make a big difference too by setting up a donation station at your business, group or workplace.

Get started by downloading our Pet Food Drive Pack, or for more details, simply get in touch with us at info@edch.org.uk

Payroll Giving

Supporting Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home through payroll giving is a simple and impactful way to make a difference.

With payroll giving, employees can donate a regular amount directly from their pay, making it a fuss-free and tax-effective method to support the animals in our care. 

Why Choose Payroll Giving? 

Convenient and Tax-Free: Donations come directly from employees’ salaries each month, and it’s tax-free for them. 

Flexible Amounts: Employees can choose to give any amount they like, big or small. 

Zero Cost to Your Business: There’s no financial cost to a company – just a chance to offer your team a meaningful way to contribute.

Fundraising Events

At Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, we believe fundraising should be just as fun as it is impactful! And why not bring a bit of that fun to your workplace by hosting a corporate event? Whether it’s a bake sale, a charity run, or any creative idea you have, your event can make a real difference. 

Every penny raised helps us continue our mission to support animals and their owners. So, rally your team and get involved – because who says fundraising can’t be paws-itively fun? 

If your company wants to host their own event or fundraiser then why not bring your fundraising together online via Just Giving.
