Membership
THE CSR SOCIETY is a membership organisation that helps companies and communities to work together for mutual benefit. We provide a comprehensive range of benefits for our members, and play a key role in creating opportunities for companies and communities to benefit from CSR initiatives.
The major CSR benefit of membership is that your membership fees save lives – and we will send you a verification certificate each month to show exactly how many lives you have saved.
HOW WE HELP YOU TO SAVE LIVES
Sadly, more than 14,000 children under the age of five die every day from malaria.
That is 5,300,000 children around the world who never reach their fifth birthday.
Ninety per cent of those youngsters live in sub-Sahara Africa where ONE CHILD DIES EVERY TWO MINUTES.
Pregnant women are also particularly vulnerable to this most deadly of diseases, and yet malaria can be prevented and treated by simple medication.
We have launched the ANOTHER LIFE ANOTHER DAY campaign to fund those effective treatments and save thousands of lives.
Our funding is spent on those treatments to save the lives of many children who would otherwise be doomed to die within 10-15 days of being infected.
As well as contributing to the cost of the member benefits we provide, your membership fees also help to fund donations we make on your behalf to organisations combating malaria, and they can quantify how many lives YOU save each month as a result.
A certificate to record how many lives you have saved each month, plus a running total since becoming a member, will be sent to you each month.
Even at the lowest fee level – Sole Trader Bronze – your annual membership fee of £360 (less than £1 a day) will help us to SAVE 108 CHILDREN A MONTH. THAT’S 1,296 LIVES SAVED BY YOU EACH YEAR YOU ARE A MEMBER – MINIMUM!
And there are many more membership benefits that help your business to grow and prosper. All funded within your membership fee. All available on request.
