Why should your business work with a charity like us?
Posted on November 28th, 2024
At The Muscle Help Foundation, our mission is to deliver 657 transformational Muscle Dream interventions, experiences or moments-in-time across the UK for children and young people living with Muscular Dystrophy. That’s one life-changing, cherished moment-in-time for every muscle in the human body and we would love for your help to achieve this goal and make a huge impact!
There are a variety of reasons that businesses choose to work with a charity; to spread awareness of a cause that is close to their hearts, to support their community, to expand their networks or to boost employee morale.
Martin Barrett, MD of Herts DCS has been working with The Muscle Help foundation for eight years, “Since meeting the inspirational Michael McGrath MBE, and telling our story of losing a member of our family to a form of muscular dystrophy, Herts DCS are pleased to have volunteered our support for The Muscle Help Foundation. From supporting beneficiaries and their families on Muscle Dreams days to graphics support for MHF charity reports. The charity is close to our hearts and seeing the children and young adults’ faces of joy when they’ve had their Muscle Dream realised, is priceless. We look forward to many more years of supporting this amazing charity.”
Here are a few ways in which you and your company can get involved:
Charity of the Year
By nominating us as your chosen charity of the year you can make a significant impact on the growth of a small charity, with national reach, that is rooted in family values, while also creating excellent team-building and networking opportunities. Why not put forward your employees to become Muscle Warriors, or why not sponsor one of our Muscle Dream programmes?

Matched Giving
Our charity wouldn’t be where we are today without our incredible fundraisers, get your company involved by matching what your employees raise.
Payroll Giving
A regular donation via your salary is a great way to help our cause. People who receive their company/personal pension through PAYE can also participate. You can find out more about Payroll giving by clicking here. If you decide that you would like to set up a Payroll giving scheme in support of our charity work, please contact us.
Take on a Challenge
Create your own fundraiser with your work colleagues – take on a challenge. There are many ways you can raise money with the #PowerOf657:
- First, how about setting a goal to raise £657.00 / £1,657 or more
- Get creative and organise your own 657 fundraiser
- How about a 657 Mindful Yoga Challenge
- Or any timed event around 6 mins and 57 secs or 6hrs and 57secs!
- Perhaps a 657 reps/squats/lunges fitness challenge at home or in your local gym
- Or a 657 Cyclethon Challenge
Donate
You can also always donate directly to The Muscle Help Foundation charity.
To make regular donations, why not set up a monthly Direct Debit via either our dedicated online donations form here at Peoples Fundraising, or via our PayPal Account. Gift aid will automatically be reclaimed on your direct debit donations on behalf of our charity!
For one off online donations of £6.57, £16.57 or £65.70 or indeed any other value of your choosing can be made via Peoples Fundraising, and also the charity’s PayPal Account ~ as we say, that’s the #PowerOf657.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Every collaboration moves the charity closer to realising its mission of delivering 657 Muscle Dreams, that’s one life-changing experience for every muscle in the human body!
