LionHeart
Did you know that as your firm pays the subs for its RICS members, those people miss the chance to make the suggested annual donation to LionHeart via the subs renewal process?
This means LionHeart misses out on vital donations that make it possible for us to offer lifelong support and services to surveyors whenever needed, for issues at work or at home.
LionHeart is an independent charity and receives no funding from RICS or other grant income.
As the only charity specifically for the RICS community, we’re grateful to the individuals and corporate firms that choose to support us. In 2023/24 our team handled 10% more requests for help, meaning demand for our services has risen by over 100% in the last five years. We continue to respond swiftly and with compassion to surveyors and their families all over the world who are facing some of life’s most difficult times.
With more and more firms joining the corporate payment plan and paying subs on behalf of their employees, this has contributed to a significant drop in individual donations to LionHeart over the last five years – at a time when demand for support has continued to rise.
There are so many ways that firms like yours can help LionHeart in their work to support your people. This can range from staff fundraisers to corporate donations. To find out more please visit LionHeart - Corporate Support or contact our Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising Manager, Carolyn McDonald (cmcdonald@lionheart.org.uk). If there is someone else in your firm who deals with corporate fundraising or charity work, please do pass this information on to them.
