Tips on getting help from Businesses
Nominate a person who will be a contact for the business Prepare a brief and easily handleable literature about what you
want to do and how you want to do it. Be clear about what you want from the business i.e. support,
funding, freebies, people to help you etc When writing to a business always address to a named person. Follow up your letter with a phone call a few days later. Attend as many networking meetings as possible. Contact the Corporate Social Responsibility project in your area;
Connect Dacorum for the Dacorum area. There are similar projects in Stevenage, Waltham Cross and St Albans.
Business in the Community may be able to help. Good luck and keep trying!
