Business giving

Whether your business is small or large, we can help you make a connection with Hackney’s communities. If you love Hackney as much as we do, we’re keen to talk about how we can work together.

Your business can make a difference

Businesses in Hackney and the City are as diverse as the communities that live here. We know that business giving depends on many factors: one size does not fit all! So we offer different ways to partner with us. Here are just a few suggestions – we are open to other ideas and would love to talk to you. Please do get in contact.

Giving money

No amount is too small to make a difference! From £15 raised at a staff cake sale to multi-year donations of tens of thousands, by giving through Hackney Giving you can be confident that your business’s donation is supporting communities locally.

If you’re holding an event and would like to make Hackney Giving your nominated charity, you can set up a JustGiving fundraising page or donate directly online.

If you’d like to make a bank transfer, please contact us for bank details.

Giving time and skills

It’s not just about money: you can give time and skills. Match My Project is a tool where voluntary and community sector organisations can post requests for support and browse offers from businesses. Hackney Giving supports the matching process in Hackney and the City.

  • As a business, you can register on Match My Project and browse requests from community groups.
  • If there’s a project you can help with, you can make an offer of support. The community group reviews your offer and chooses whether to accept.
  • You can also make independent proposals of goods or services, which community groups can browse and ask to accept.
  • When a project is complete, both parties rate how well it went.

Contact us if you’re interested in joining Match My Project.

The Hackney Giving coffee, pizza or pint

If you make or sell food, drink or products, you could nominate one to support Hackney Giving. For example: you could make a contribution of 10 or 20p per unit sold, all while letting your customers know they are helping you to support this worthwhile cause. Hackney loves coffee, pizza and pints, why not let these products love Hackney in return?

Talk to us about how this could work for your business.

London Fields Lido is a sports facility, yet it is also a centre for the Hackney community. As the cost of living crisis continues to leave its mark, we are proud to work with Hackney Giving to make a meaningful impact within our area.
