DISCOUNTS FOR MEMBERS
Saving Time & Money
Children England have been looking into how we can save our members time and money during these financially challenging times for our sector.
With this in mind, we’re delighted to announce a new member discount scheme in partnership with a variety of service providers keen to support charities working with children, young people and families across the country.
Developing the scheme
We’re in the early stages of developing this scheme, so if you know of other ‘tried and tested’ service providers that are highly recommended, please send us a brief description of their service and their contact details so we can negotiate more special discounts and offers on behalf of our members.
Member service offers
We’re also very keen that our members take advantage of this scheme to promote their own commercial services and products to fellow Children England members. With a potential reach of 100,000 like-minded people across our networks, this is a great opportunity to promote your trading activities for free.
Watch this space!
Make sure you visit our website regularly over the coming months to see what other special offers are available exclusively to our members.
For more information, please contact Monique Dall'Occo our Service Development Manager: monique@childrenengland.org.uk or phone 020 7833 3319.
