The company, which includes PR, design, experiential and social media specialists has set aside two per cent of profits from 2009 to be used by the successful charity in fee time.
Charities representing a broad range of topics including sports, disability, substance misuse and health conditions have already submitted applications and organisations nationwide have until Wednesday 30 June to apply.
Applications are invited from health and well-being charities which operate solely in the UK, have clear communications objectives and are open to using a whole range of channels and tactics to meet these objectives.
Head of Public Sector, Simon Francis, commented:
“We know that many health charities can’t always easily access communications agency support, so this year we have opened our pro-bono scheme up through a simple nominations process.
“We’ve already received some great applications from passionate and committed organisations but we are keen to give as many health and wellbeing charities as possible the opportunity to apply.”
Application process
To apply, charities can visit http://www.bbpr.com/ to download a short, five-question, application form, can call 020 7419 7000 or email csr@bbpr.com to request one. Deadline for applications is 30th June 2010. A shortlist based on fair and clear assessment criteria will be put to a vote of Band & Brown staff in w/c 5th July with the successful charity informed by 9 July.
Previous beneficiaries from Band & Brown’s pro-bono scheme include leading education charity, BeatBullying, international aid organisation Advocates for International Development and domestic violence charity RISE.
Band & Brown currently works on health and well-being issues campaigns for clients including Aegate, BUPA, emedcareers, Department for Work and Pensions and LV=. The selection process is separate from the pro-bono activity Band & Brown will undertake with Action Against Hunger through the Cossette UK group of companies.
