Here are eight of the corporate partnerships that have caught our eye this month, providing charities including Fresh Start, Cancer Research UK, and The Grand Appeal with everything from donations of household items, to fundraising through challenge events, bake sales, collection tins, and more.       CALA Homes & Fresh Start CALA Homes has furnished 24 homes in Edinburgh for charity Fresh Start. The homes are provided by the charity for people recently made homeless and CALA Homes has provided beds, sofas and other essentials from its show homes in the east of Scotland.   Home Bargains & Cancer Research UK Home Bargains has joined forces with Cancer Research UK in a new partnership that will see all 63 of the retailer’s southern sites carry collection boxes for the charity in-store. Home Bargains raised more than £165,000 through fundraising for its previous charity partner the British Red Cross.   Nomura & Whizz-Kidz Nomura and Whizz-Kidz have announced a new two-year partnership. Nomura’s employees are aiming to raise a target of £300,000 over the two-year term. The funds raised will enable Whizz-Kidz to provide wheelchairs and mobility equipment for children across the UK, and will fund the Whizz-Kidz Mobile Community Service.   Morrisons Foundation & The Grand Appeal Morrisons Foundation has donated £179,300 to The Grand Appeal’s Home from Home Appeal, which will offer free accommodation and private space for families of patients at Bristol Children’s Hospital.

More than 128 Joseph Holt pubs, plus free trade customers supported the brewery firm’s pledge in 2015 to raise over £50k for the Didsbury hospice. The total was reached through bar collection tins and the combined efforts of fundraisers who organised fun days, beer festivals and the brewery staff tackling sporting challenges including the Great North Run.   Tombola & The Foundation of Light The Foundation of Light has received backing from local tech company, tombola, to support their new £18m Beacon of Light development in Sunderland. tombola have donated £500,000 towards the building of the Beacon, which will be illuminated at night, and will include education and training facilities with an indoor football pitch above.   Barings & Breast Cancer Haven Barings has added Breast Cancer Haven to the roster of 60 charities it supports.
