Corporate Engagement

Get your company involved!

Working in partnership with our Society can bring lasting benefits to companies while helping us to support the thousands of people who are affected by encephalitis each year.

We have developed highly successful relationships across a wide range of sectors including financial services, legal firms, and hospitality. On talking about corporate involvement with the Encephalitis Society, Tim Spring, Partner, Moore Blatch said:

“I knew how effective they were, I knew how clearly they punched well above their weight… I knew the seriousness with which they approached the subject [encephalitis] and I also by that stage knew how valuable they were to some of my clients. The feedback I've had from my clients is that they think it’s an absolutely wonderful organisation… in fact they feel as if they are part of a family”

The one word consistently used by our members and supporters to describe the Encephalitis Society is “family”. It is critical to us that in developing any new relationships that we do not lose this sense of ‘family’ by forgetting our roots, and letting the need to generate income cloud what equally is important: the people whose lives have been devastated by a condition that came from nowhere and whose impact is life-changing. So, we invite you to become part of #TeamEncephalitis, part of our Family- it is emotional at times buy dynamic and inspiring too.

Whether you are looking for a long term strategic partnership, team building and staff development opportunities, or a chance to raise your profile among people affected by encephalitis, we can work with you to achieve your objectives.

Why partner with us?

Every year, 500,000 people are affected by encephalitis in the UK, leaving families bereaved or leaving those affected with some degree of injury to the brain. The Encephalitis Society is here to support people of all ages and backgrounds in their darkest hours, and inspire them to transform their lives. Our work would not be possible without the generosity and support of our partners

Working with Corporate Partners - our policy statement

We have a history of working with a range of pharmaceutical and other companies with an interest in encephalitis. We also work with other stakeholders as we believe that our supporters want us to work in partnership with key players; from academics, the Department of Health and health professionals, to corporate partners including pharmaceutical companies. We believe it is important to maintain co-operative relationships with companies that manufacture and market drugs used by people affected by encephalitis, but under no circumstances will these or other companies influence our strategic direction, activities or what we say.
