Are you looking for a meaningful CSR partnership which offers the opportunity to end poverty?
Here at Concern Universal we’re acutely aware of the pressures on the private sector to meet their own objectives – that’s why we’re in the business of bespoking our larger partnerships as well as working with those who offer goods-in-kind and partake in staff fundraising. We have worked with the private sector for over 25 years. Contact us today to discover more.

Ways to support us
Corporate Social Responsibility
Concern Universal aims to invest in the future of the countries we work in, so actively welcome business partnerships. We are able to host visits from our corporate partners to our country programmes. We build relationships using Skype calls and guest speakers from our overseas staff, for our staff and yours to share skills and experiences. We can also design marketing campaigns to help deliver commercial benefits to your organisation.
Events for staff
Employee fundraising can be a great way of boosting job satisfaction, staff morale and retention. We have marketing materials that can support bake sales, raffles and Christmas events in your offices. Our overseas visitors can speak to your staff in an inspiration event, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Concern Universal different to other charities?
Put simply, we’re small enough to be flexible, but large enough to make a difference. We ensure our major supporters get direct access to our senior staff across the world. We are interested in long term, sustainable partnerships and so we invest time and expertise to ensure there are maximum benefits on both sides.
What can my company get in return for partnering with you?
We report back on all the work that our partners support, and always seek to demonstrate social return on investment. We regularly visit the UK offices of our partners to ensure things are on track and offer events to inspire staff. We ensure partners are getting a good profile through our own digital channels, adding value to the partnership wherever we can.
How much does your charity spend on admin?
We are one of the lowest in the business. Last year we spent just 8% of our turnover on administrative costs, so you can be sure that supporting us offer the very best value for money.
Our company only supports UK causes, does that rule us out?
Not at all. We have a vibrant education programme here in the UK showing the relevance of international development to schoolchildren. This utilises volunteers and also requires financial support. In addition, we have a very small UK team and so always have volunteering opportunities on our books if people want to give time to our cause in the UK.
