Corporate supporters - a mutually beneficial relationship
There are lots of ways for your company and employees to get involved and to support the work that Eaves does. Please read more about the issues we are tackling and see how you can involve your workplace in raising funds and supporting us.
Information for Corporate supporters
We need your support urgently; your company can have a life changing impact on women and children who have experienced violence.
Your company will benefit from the partnership. By helping to fund a charity like Eaves you are also reducing some of your own costs. Bear in mind that a number of your employees will be affected by some of these issues. Evidence shows that if women get the appropriate support at the right time they recover much more quickly.
We will work with you to ensure the experience is mutually rewarding and to show to you how your support makes a difference to both the women who need us and their children.
Eaves is based in London but we help women from all over the world.

If your employees are volunteering in work time, then you should be able to claim tax relief for the employment costs that they continue to incur. All they need to do is treat the costs incurred to the company (for example, the person's salary) as a business expense when calculating chargeable profits for corporation tax purposes.
Eaves’ Good Practice Policy Guidelines
This April, Eaves’ Good Practice Policy Guidelines for companies was launched at a Mayoral event at City Hall. The guidelines will help businesses to play a part in reducing violence against women and will also help employers appropriately support members of staff who have experienced violence. The guidelines cover all forms of violence, not just domestic violence.
Eaves’ Good Practice Policy guidelines also highlight some of the unintended impacts that companies can have on violence against women and girls and what they can do about them.
As a result of the event, many companies are now reviewing their HR and CSR policies.
Please help us to enable these women and their children to get their lives back.
