Project sponsorship and custom partnerships

If your organisation wants to fund a specific improvement — for example a refurbishment phase, accessibility upgrades, or new equipment — we can build a tailored partnership with clear outcomes, recognition and reporting.

Example: Coach House refurbishment

We have previously been supported by a major project contribution of £87,000 from Severn Trent to help refurbish our Coach House building. We welcome project-sized partnerships and can provide a clear delivery plan, updates during the work, and a measurable “before and after” impact story.

Good fit for
  • Refurbishment phases and building improvements
  • Accessibility upgrades
  • Outdoor space development
  • New equipment and furniture
  • Energy efficiency improvements

What you receive
  • Clear deliverables and timeline
  • Agreed recognition (on-site and online)
  • Progress updates during delivery
  • Impact summary for CSR and social value reporting

Prefer to sponsor a specific outcome? Tell us the type of project you’d like to support and we’ll suggest options.
