Get Involved: The #SmallBusinessStar match funding campaign Christmas 2020
‘During 2020 we’ve seen the impact small businesses make, with more businesses donating to charity via Work for Good than ever before. The #SmallBusinessStar campaign is an opportunity for small businesses to keep shining, engage their customers and clients and make a positive difference.’ — Veronica Bamford-Deane, Managing Director of Work for Good.
What is it all about?
The #SmallBusinessStar match funding campaign is a festive fundraising opportunity for small businesses to help UK charities raise much needed funds by donating through their Christmas sales.
From 1st-31st December 2020 Work for Good will be doubling donations raised from the sales of products and services and paid to charities via our platform (up to £500 per business, whilst funds remain — see T’s & C’s below)
As well as raising money for good causes, the #SmallBusinessStar match funding campaign has been created by Work for Good to shine a light on the UK’s socially responsible small business community, illustrating that purposeful enterprise is better for all.
The Inspiration
Despite the challenges 2020 has presented, small businesses have played a crucial role in giving back to their communities, many putting purpose and giving at the heart of their business.
In fact, Work for Good has seen a huge increase in small businesses donating to charity, and from April to September 2020, over 300 small businesses have pledged and donated over £450k to charity via the fundraising platform. Proving that collectively small acts of giving can make a big difference.
‘The #SmallBusinessStar campaign is an opportunity for small businesses to keep shining, engage their customers and clients and make a positive difference this Christmas.
With campaigns such as Shop Small and Small Business Saturday combined with the powerful ask of Sir David Attenborough for the country to stop wasting, consumers are likely to be looking for a more purposeful and socially driven Christmas.
Donating to a charity through their business sales is a sustainable and simple way for businesses to make a tangible impact.’ — Veronica Bamford-Deane, Managing Director of Work for Good.
