Business & community
From community friends to leadership partners, choose a tier that fits your organisation.
Sponsorship helps SHAX respond when referrals arrive and packs must go out quickly. Local employers gain visible, meaningful CSR, and families gain essentials when they need them most.
In 2025/26 SHAX supported 487 individuals with starter packs and related help—demand that does not wait for grant cycles. Your tier funds stock on the shelf at Merrick House when partner referrals come through the system.
Pack costs are £280+ and rising; your partnership directly offsets that pressure.
The same partner organisations listed on shax.org.uk—housing, health, and community teams who submit referrals when someone needs a pack.
…and many more agencies working together to support vulnerable individuals and families. Full list on shax.org.uk starter packs.
