A clear well communicated CSR programme with organisation wide participation has been proven to help attract the best candidates to business. It can help with employee retention and team building. It is an outward expression of the caring side of your business.

Supporting the Asthma Society is a clear statement to the public, your customers, your employees and your competitors of your company values, this builds a very strong brand image and commands loyalty.

Sponsorship

We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available from sponsoring a publication to title sponsor of an event. To discuss the range of options available contact the Asthma Society of Ireland.

Charity for the year

Many companies focus their CSR activities on one charity for the entire year. By choosing one charity that the entire organisation can support,  you can set a fundraising target for the year which is a great motivation for all involved.

Employees can support the Asthma Society through payroll giving, this is where a small donation comes directly form salaries to the society each month.
