Corporate sponsorship · Christmas and winter
Does your business have social value targets to meet?
Make a real difference in your community while working towards your company's social value commitments.
For just £40 per night, your business can sponsor a room in our instant access accommodation, helping our Homeless Response Teams get someone off the streets and into a safe, warm place to sleep.
Sponsorship
Whether you're a small local business or a larger organisation
Your sponsorship makes a direct difference to someone facing homelessness. Pay online for any number of nights, or talk to us about a package built around your social value targets.
A night
£40
One room, one night. The simplest way for a small business to make a direct difference this winter.
A week
£280
Seven nights indoors. Enough to get someone through the coldest stretch of the year.
A month
£1,200
Thirty nights. Long enough for our housing teams to start work on somewhere permanent.
A winter partnership
Let's talk
A bespoke package across the winter, with an impact report, staff involvement and shared comms.
£40 is the average cost of a room for one night. Sponsorship isn't held against a particular room on a particular night — it goes into the funds that keep our instant access accommodation open and our teams housing people, and is directed wherever the need is greatest.

Evidence for your social value return
We'll show you exactly what your sponsorship did
We can provide your business with a sponsorship impact report, showing how your contribution has been used and the difference your support has made.
It's written to be useful: something you can put in front of a procurement panel, a board, or your own staff, to demonstrate your company's commitment to social value and community impact.
- How many nights your sponsorship funded, and when
- The difference it made to the people who used those rooms
- Figures and wording you can lift straight into your own reporting
- Images and copy for your website, socials and staff comms

FAQs
Business sponsorship questions
Anything we haven't covered? Email sales@cornerstone-north.org and we'll come back to you.
Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?
Yes. Card payment here is the quickest route, but if your finance team needs an invoice against a PO, email sales@cornerstone-north.org with the number of nights and your details and we'll raise one.
What does the sponsorship impact report include?
How many nights your sponsorship funded and over what period, what that meant for the people who used the rooms, and figures and wording you can use in your own social value reporting. Sponsorships of a week or more include one as standard.
Does this count towards our social value score?
Local charitable giving and community impact sit within most social value frameworks, including the Social Value Model used in public sector procurement. We'll give you the evidence; how it's scored depends on the framework your contract uses, so check the specific measures with your procurement lead.
Can our logo appear on your site?
Yes — supporters are credited on our corporate support page, and larger winter partnerships include shared comms and staff involvement. Ask us what that could look like for your business.
Can our staff get involved as well as the business?
Please do. Teams fundraise, volunteer in our hubs and workshop, and take part in our sleepout. Sponsorship and staff involvement together tend to make the strongest case internally.
Can we claim Gift Aid?
Gift Aid applies to gifts from individuals, not companies. A company donation may instead be deductible against Corporation Tax — your accountant can confirm how it applies to you.
In good company
