“Here at PayPal Giving Fund, we aim to make giving a part of everyday life. We are proud that, through programmes such as Give at Checkout, we were able to support Willow and their amazing work. We would like to thank everyone at Willow for all that you have done in supporting this impactful collaboration, and we look forward to continuing our work together in 2024.” Frank Barreca, Operations Lead.

“We are very proud of our long-standing partnership with Willow, an incredible charity which we’re delighted to work alongside in a number of ways. As well as raising funds and regularly donating hotel stays to help seriously ill young adults make precious memories, we give time as part of our annual Charity Day. This year it was brilliant to see eight of our team members volunteer at the London Football Awards. Our partnership is very close to my heart and I’m looking forward to seeing it continue to flourish in the years to come.” Laurie Nicol, Co-Chief Executive Officer at De Vere 

The team at Multiplex are long-term partners who have worked with Willow for many years. They organise numerous fundraising events with their clients and business partners via their head office and sites across the UK. Willow is grateful for the years of varied and committed support that Multiplex has shown us.

“Pen has worked with Willow for almost three years and it has simply been an amazing charity to work with. The team has given up time to speak to our colleagues on a number of occasions and are so passionate about the people they support – often in the darkest of times. The fundraising activities we’ve undertaken for Willow ranges from virtual quizzes and Bingo to step challenges, many of which took place during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns. Pen’s staff have become passionate supporters of Willow’s cause and have enjoyed getting together to have some competitive fun, all with a common goal to raise funds and awareness for Willow.”

Willow is proud of its partnership with The Galleria. Since 2019, The Galleria has undertaken a range of fundraising initiatives, from hosting our Carol Concert during Covid lockdown to a more recent busking fundraiser. We love how our friends at The Galleria help to spread the word about Special Days.

“We are honoured to enable Willow to continue its brilliant work for our community. The memories Willow creates for its beneficiaries and their families and friends are truly invaluable.”
