Corporate Partnerships
Help us create a society where every autistic person can lead a fulfilling life
We pride ourselves on providing services that put autistic people and their voices first. But much of what we do wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of the North East business community.
We understand that you as a business want to do more to support your community but may not know where to start. We’re here to help you build a successful partnership with NEAS.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Business Club, offering exclusive perks, networking opportunities, and volunteering days for organisations who support the North East Autism Society.
No matter the size of your organisation, you can become a ‘Business Champion’, with accessible membership tiers that offer benefits back to our supporters.
Membership tiers
Bronze champion
Silver champion
Gold champion
Your membership is tiered based on the level of support you’re able to give us, with the combined value of your company’s donations, fundraising proceeds, and gifts-in-kind taken into account.
We count these contributions towards your membership level each calendar year, without needing you to offer any extra support to take part.
Business Champion memberships start from as little as a £50 contribution annually, and come with a range of benefits such as access to volunteering days, guidance for fundraising activities, and complimentary tickets to our annual Walk for Acceptance.
Or, if you would like to introduce yourself as a potential future partner before making a donation, you can join as a ‘Business Member’, and receive quarterly e-communications and a free invite annually to one of our Business Club meetings.

Why partner with us
Your support helps us make a positive difference in the lives of autistic and neurodivergent people across our region, and we’re incredibly grateful. That’s why we want to give something back to our supporters – from priority spaces for volunteers, to training and accreditation, and more.
How we can help you
Volunteering & Team building
We can match you to volunteering and team-building opportunities that are right for your employees.
From skills based volunteering, to practical team-building opportunities, we can tailor a plan to your needs, and oversee health and safety, insurance, and any logistics to ensure your team has a meaningful experience that they know has made a difference.
How you can help us
Nominate us as your Charity of the Year
By choosing us for a year long partnership, we can work closely together to maximise fundraising and volunteering opportunities, and collaborate with you on PR opportunities to shine a light on the incredible impact your work can have on the lives of autistic people.
Get involved in events
There are a ton of opportunities to get involved in fundraising events every year. Join us for events like our annual Cycling Challenge or Challenge Hike, or be part of Team NEAS at third party events like the Great North Run or Great North Swim.
Or, host your own event to benefit us! From car washes, to bake offs, to bucket list challenges like skydives - the sky really is the limit!
Gifts and donations
If it's right for your business, there are a range of ways to support our work by making gifts and donations. Some examples include:
- Office fundraising
- Match funding employees’ fundraising
- Providing gifts in kind, raffle prizes, or pieces for auction
- Offering payroll giving
- Facilitating collections
