Partnering
According to official figures, 127 million hours of work were lost in 2015 due to mental health absenteeism.
With anxiety, stress and depression being the principal reasons, the number of days taken off is reportedly increasing 25% year-on-year.
Good mental health in the workforce is considered ‘very important’† to employers.
Partnering with a charity that supports those struggling at work and those ready for employment, demonstrates your commitment to good mental health in the workplace.
By supporting INNERCYCLE, you could fulfil your own organisation's social responsibility aims, whilst enhancing staff morale and retention. We will work with you to ensure that your brand and team gain from partnering, with benefits for everyone.

Charity of the year:
Many businesses now choose one main charity to support over a specific period, usually one to two years. It’s a great way of encouraging team building and having fun.
Support can range from participating in open charity events like cycle rides and marathons, to running cake sales at work and hosting fundraising functions.
We welcome the opportunity of discussing a programme with you that would meet your specific needs and objectives.
Making us your Charity of the Year could help:
- Show your organisation’s commitment to fostering positive mental health in the workplace and openness to discussing it
- Encourage team spirit and boost staff morale
- Educate workers in the proven positive mental and physical health benefits of cycling
- Create positive news stories for regional and national PR exposure and social media content
Stay in touch via social media. Sharing news and details of our work helps raise mutual profile, furthering good mental health for all
Get active and take on a challenge: There are countless UK-wide events where your staff may enter individually or as a team. Cycling, trekking, swimming and running, as well as hardy 'Tough Mudder' courses, even skydiving for the fearless!
Volunteering: We’re always looking for cycling mentors to support some of our service users – one way for your staff to help INNERCYCLE. Applications to be considered for volunteering may be found here
Inspired Get-Togethers: We've kindly been given access to a villa near Malaga in Spain, that can be rented for 10 people at £2100/week. It's the perfect restful environment for a team-building course, a centre for enhancing wellness or perhaps a 'thank you' reward for your best performing staff members See more>
Payroll giving: Coming soon
Custom: Your organisation could get creative with your own challenge, if options listed here aren't quite hitting the spot. Events at home or overseas – running a company ‘bake-off’ or a dance competition – let's work together on ideas, to find the ideal fit! Get in touch>
Sponsorship:
Could your brand benefit from being aligned with a charity that undertakes practical support for positive mental health?
Many staff members, particularly 'millennials', are receptive to charitable giving. Increasingly, people want to work for organisations that give something back, paying more than lip service to making a difference in the world.
We can work with you to develop a programme that includes sponsor advertising of our community roadshow vehicles.
Effective exposure, that's also an allowable business expense when working out your tax liabilities Contact us>
Philanthropy:
To put a service user through our programme of vocational and therapeutic support costs around £1500/year – career guidance, business creation/growth, in-work placement support – and £3000/year for full cycle-side support.
Our success is aided by continuing long-term investments.
One average, our service-users can become independently self-reliant within six-to-nine months.
A philanthropic gift of £5000 allows us to help at least two people to sustain recovery for up to twelve months without relapse, finding meaning, direction and purpose in their life.
How may we help you?
