Partnerships

We work in partnership with both public and private sector organisations in communities across the UK to deliver positive outcomes for young people who need support.

This film above is the story of one of those partnerships.

We work in partnership

• We have over 800 operational and strategic partners. These include delivery partners for Team such as the Fire Service, FE colleges and voluntary organisations, schools running our xl programme and community organisations in the UK and Europe. We also work with more than 60 football clubs and 14 county cricket clubs.
• We work with major corporate partners – The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Citigroup, Premier League, Football Foundation, PFA, Superdrug, Marks & Spencer and BT. We share skills and expertise with over 100 blue chip organisations including Bloomberg, Accenture, HMRC and many other public sector bodies.
• We are supported by the European Social Fund, the European Regional Development Fund, the DCSF, The Home Office, Invest NI, the Welsh Assembly Government, the Learning & Skills Council, Regional Development Agencies and many other national and local public sector partners.

Working with the uniformed services

We work closely with all the uniformed services in many different ways. Some provide us with staff on secondment and others work as our delivery partners for our programmes.

Find out how we are working with:

• The Fire & Rescue Service
• The Police
• The MOD and Armed Forces

Our partnerships involve:

• Sharing of ideas and best practice, to deliver high-quality programmes that fit the changing needs of our clients.
• Mutual understanding of our parts in the common service to young people.
• Sustained contact with young people whose problems are more deeply rooted and complex.

Our delivery partners

The success of our programmes lies squarely in the strength of our partnerships with other organisations, and in the motivation and focus they have in helping young people.

What our partners provide

Along with time, facilities and many other resources, our partners bring vital benefits to their roles in programme delivery:

• people - dedicated and trained professionals, helping deliver programmes with flair
• local knowledge - ensuring our programmes are locally relevant and effectively delivered
• commitment to young people - sharing our focus on the various issues facing youth today
• community involvement - with strong local ties to other groups and individuals
• access to our target groups - helping us find the hardest to reach

Our partners help The Trust carry out a range of programmes for young people.
