Corporate Partnerships
Partner with us and be part of making a real difference to people's lives.
Corporate Partnerships
To end domestic abuse we must address the root cause – the perpetrator. Your company can lead the way by being part of a bold, impactful partnership with Respect that makes a real difference to people’s lives.
Why Respect?
In 2023 alone, over 2 million adults experienced domestic abuse in England and Wales, and 20% of children in the UK have lived with an adult perpetrating domestic abuse. Behind every single victim, is a perpetrator. Despite the government’s pledge to halve violence against women and girls in a decade, current response are fragmented and uncoordinated. Join us in calling for more safe and effective perpetrator interventions - to reduce harm and save lives.
Collaborate
Collaborate with Respect to deliver a truly transformational corporate partnership. Our dedicated account manager will work with you to design a bespoke collaboration with key goals to align with your Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. In addition to fundraising to support our vital work with perpetrators of domestic abuse, you will work with our team to instigate cultural change within the workplace. By partnering with Respect, your company can play a leading role in tackling the harmful stigma and misconceptions around domestic abuse.
Fundraising
Whatever motivates your people, we can work with them to raise vital funds for Respect. Whether it’s a sponsored walk, running a marathon, holding a raffle, pub quiz or bake sale, we will support them all the way!
Focus
You can choose to design your corporate partnership around a particular theme or area of
our work. For example, your partnership could be based around raising awareness of male victims of domestic abuse, with the funds you raise helping to support our Men’s Advice Line.
People and Culture
Respect delivers evidence-based training for practitioners working with domestic abuse, including perpetrators of domestic abuse, young people who use abuse in close relationships, and male victims of domestic abuse. For a competitive rate, we can offer expert training and consultancy to ensure your workplace has an appropriate response to domestic abuse, including for example support with the creation of a domestic abuse staff policy, training for managers on how to respond to potential perpetrators of domestic abuse and awareness raising of the availability of our services – e.g. Respect Phoneline a confidential support service for anyone concerned about their behaviour – amongst your colleagues. We work closely with the Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA), who have a wide range of companies in their membership, all committed to addressing the stigma and talking about domestic abuse in the workplace, both for victims and perpetrators.
PR and Communications
We will raise awareness of our unique corporate partnerships via our website, newsletter (3K subscribers) and Facebook (2.5K followers) Instagram (5K + followers) and LinkedIn (5K+followers) accounts.
Influence
Stigma, shame and misinformation all contribute to the huge harm caused by domestic abuse every day in the UK. By partnering with us, your company can help to put the spotlight on an issue which requires urgent attention. We will seek coverage of our partnership in the press and invite you to campaign with us at key times of the year, such as International Women’s Day (March) or 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (November).
