At Bread and Water for Africa UK, we believe that the most successful partnerships are those which are mutually beneficial.
For a purpose-driven company like yours, supporting a small charity like Bread and Water for Africa UK can have heaps of benefits. It can help you generate positive PR, reach new audiences, motivate employees and improve retention rates through team-building activities and fundraising events. It is a good way to put your values into action in a tangible and effective way. Not to mention the feel good factor of knowing that you are making a big difference to people's lives. In addition you can:
- Engage even more stakeholders through a brand new approach that emphasises social purpose
- Scope and capture new sources of value within your business
- Provide opportunities to incubate new products and programmes to a ready audience
In 2018 Accenture studied the factors that influence people into buying from their brand, it found that 50% were influenced by whether or not the brand engaged in social causes or gave back in some way.
