Corporate partnerships
There has never been a more important time to support Move On.
Right now, people across Edinburgh and Glasgow are experiencing some of the toughest challenges they’ve ever faced. As is often the case, society’s most vulnerable people are bearing the brunt of the long-term impact of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis.
We want to give everyone an equal chance to live an independent and fulfilling life. But we need your help.
Corporate volunteer days in Glasgow
Our corporate volunteer days at FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland offer hands-on opportunities for staff to make a positive social and environmental impact. We need volunteers Monday-Friday to keep our service running, so your support is vital, never tokenistic, and makes a real impact.
Thales
Thales staff rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in at our FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland social enterprise.
The team supported the staff and volunteers to distribute surplus food to organisations feeding people at risk of food poverty.
Catherine from Thales said “The team of volunteers you have are great! They were really welcoming and ensured we knew what we were to do.”
Zurich
Like many of our corporate partners, Zurich staff have volunteered at FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland on several occasions.
Rory from Zurich said “I’m always a bit nervous helping out as it can sometimes feel like ‘the corporates’ coming in to tick a box, but it genuinely did not feel like that and everyone seemed grateful for the help and we left thinking we had actually helped.”
As well as helping our service to distribute food, Zurich have supported the training side of our Glasgow social enterprise, by donating safety boots, gloves, and hi-vis vests for our young trainees.
Every partnership is unique. But here are some ideas of ways we could work together.
Corporate donations
Whether it’s a one-off donation or contributing to a specific project, a gift from your company can change lives. Our vital work wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our corporate partners. Donate now.

Corporate volunteer days
Our corporate volunteer days at FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland offer hands-on opportunities for staff to make a positive social and environmental impact. Flexible dates available from Monday-Friday.
Employability support
Our corporate supporters can also use their expertise to provide employment support, including delivering personal development and employability skills workshops, and hosting mock interviews.
Employee fundraising
From bake sales to climbing a mountain, fundraising engages and motivates your staff to come together for a great cause. Our dedicated team can support you with your fundraising, whether you’re taking part in a national event or organising your own activity in-house.
Payroll Giving
Donating to Move On straight from staff pay is a quick and easy way to regularly support us. A great incentive to encourage your employees to sign up is to match their donations.
Employability support examples
Many of our corporate partners offer employability support to our young trainees, including delivering skills workshops; hosting mock interviews; offering work experience or apprenticeships; or donating the cost of interview clothing.
BAE Systems
BAE Systems donated 40 free places on their Workreadiness Course for some of our young people in Glasgow.
Delivered at Glasgow Science Centre, the course covered everything from CVs to interviews and assessment tests.
BAE Systems have also donated the cost of interview clothing for several of our young people.
CCG (Scotland)
CCG (Scotland) have supported young people on our Building Brighter Futures course by providing site tours and Careers in Construction presentations.
This has given our young people the opportunity to see a site up-close, as well as the chance to speak to site managers about the different trades available, a typical working day, and hear from staff themselves about how they got into their roles.
The company have also generously provided work experience placements for some of our young people.
Thank you to our corporate supporters
Fundraising examples
As the cost-of-living crisis forces more and more people to reach out for support, while competition for funding has never been more difficult, fundraising events mean more than ever before. Whether you need help brainstorming creative ideas or tips for online fundraising, our dedicated team can help you smash your target.
Deloitte
Our corporate partner Deloitte held an incredible black tie ball in aid of Move On in February 2024.
The Great Gatsby themed event, held at the beautiful voco Grand Central Hotel, was an evening of live music, games, an auction, dinner, and dancing.
As part of our current three year partnership, Deloitte hold an annual fundraising ball to support Move On’s services.
iMultiply
Our corporate partner iMultiply hold an annual pub quiz in both Edinburgh and Glasgow to support Move On’s services.
Their Edinburgh pub quiz was a competitive evening of quizzing and games, with a Move On speaker there on the night to share how the money raised will make a positive impact in the city and beyond.
