A new service from events specialist Skyline will let charities and companies outsource
the administration, customer care and event management of their charity of the year
partnerships.
Skyline’s new Charity of the Year services have grown out of the company’s
involvement in the large Tesco Charity of the Year campaigns.

Being chosen as a Charity of the Year can offer a charity a valuable opportunity
to raise funds and form lasting bonds with corporate supporters. However, the workload
associated with corporate partnerships can be significant: some charities end up
recruiting additional personnel to handle the partnership.

Skyline believes that its initiative will help charities handle these issues without
losing their focus on other fundraising. Corporate Development Manager Ciara Herron
said: “Following the relationships we have built over the years with Community Fundraisers,
we are increasingly being asked to be involved with Corporate Fundraisers and their
partnerships with companies. Our Charity of the Year scheme will ease the large 
influx of work associated with these type of campaigns”.
