Working With The Charity Sector

charity sector

Charities play a critical role in society, bringing people together to make a difference to a cause that they care about. They make an invaluable contribution in a variety of ways, fundraising, increasing awareness and providing dedicated support and resources. 

At Integrity Communications Group (ICG), we have ongoing relationships with numerous charitable organisations and offer many different services for charity solutions. We are proud to be able to support their work, providing services that increase the effectiveness of their communications and delivering value for money products. This support is delivered through the specialist services offered by several of ICG’s business divisions.

 

Integrity Communication Group’s Values

 

ICG Quotes - Mark Cornford

 

Commitment to our community is a core principle of ICG’s values and is reflected in our Vision Statement.

We value our place in society, safeguarding the jobs of our employees, supporting local communities and engaging with environmental issues to empower future generations; while still providing our clients with compelling reasons to do business with us.

The Group provides direct support to local charities, primarily driven through employee engagement. This culture of good citizenship is reflected in our commercial relationships with the charities who work with us professionally, to deliver fund raising campaigns or source products and services from us.

Our teams are dedicated to ensuring we deliver value for money for our clients, while always maintaining high standards of sustainability, environmental integrity and ethical practices.

Clients are consistently impressed by ICG’s collaborative approach to service delivery, where our teams demonstrably reflect the Group’s commitment to making a positive impact in society.     

 

Our Work With Charities

 

ICG has a range of capabilities that allow us to engage effectively with charitable organisations. These capabilities are delivered by individual business divisions that have unique skill sets that support the sector in achieving specific objectives and goals. 

Charity Resource is focused on providing support to the retail arm of charitable organisations. A wide range of items are held in stock for immediate call off from our climate-controlled warehouse. Charity shops can design and order bespoke Donor Declaration forms, swing tickets, labels and plastic cards from our print on demand facility. Shops can also use Charity Resource to send out Gift Aid letters using the highly competitive Clarity Connect Hybrid Mail service, delivering low-cost postage solutions to the sector.

Clients include respected organisations such as Cornwall Hospice, St. Margaret’s Hospice, Mary Stevens Hospice, Devon Air Ambulance, Age UK, Mercy in Action, and Blue Cross. By working with these charities to help manage their retail operations efficiently and cost effectively, Charity Resource plays its part in ensuring fund raising is maximised and overheads are kept under control.
