Business and Corporate Partnerships

“We’ve worked with No5 Young People since 2017 and have seen firsthand the incredible work they do in the community – they are invaluable to young people in and around Reading and we are proud to support them. We would happily recommend them to other organisations who are open to partnering up with a local charity.”

– Blue Collar, Corporate Partner

Local businesses and other corporate organisations have played a vital role in supporting our work over previous years, and we are so grateful for the support that we have received!

It is really important to us that we work with local people and local businesses as through our work, we are empowering the workforce of the future to be able to reach their full potential by supporting their mental health and wellbeing whilst they are going through a difficult time. Support during these times is essential to the prevention of more serious mental health difficulties in the future.

How can we work together?

We are in the business of relationship here at No5 so we would work together to build a strategic partnership that aligns with how you and your team would like to get involved, and with your CSR and Sustainable Development goals.
You’ll have a dedicated Partnerships Champion here at No5 who will help with fundraising, events and campaigns!

How can we become a partner?

1. Come and have a chat with us about your vision for Charity Partnerships. We will explore what it is you would like to do and how you can get involved
2. Pick a ‘Partnership Tier’ – We have three to choose from that we will tailor to suit you
3.  You’re ready to get started! We will help make sure you have everything you need to maximise the impact you’ll have on local young people by creating promotional materials for you to share and display, and feature you in the next edition of our newsletter so we can shout about our partnership!
