Partner With Us

What is a charity partnership?

We partner with organisations and companies who are committed to increasing opportunities for young people. We have a strong track record of creating bespoke, mutually beneficial partnerships with a range of businesses and across different types of collaborations. From Charity of the Year and brand collaborations to grant giving and programme funding. 

Thanks to our supporters and charity partnerships over the last few years we were able to:

  • Reach 4439 young people through our term time and evening programmes

  • Work in 101 provisions containing the most disadvantaged young people in England and Wales

  • Change the odds of our excluded young people being in Education, Employment or Training to 90%, compared to 62% for their peers

  • Host 1488 young people at career taster days

  • Employ 7 members of lived experience/alumni staff

 

Why partner with DRW?

How we work

All our partnerships provide ample opportunities for those who support us to get involved – from our packed events calendar with many ways to fundraise, to skills-based volunteering, in-kind and pro bono support.

We’re here to support you in:

  • Raising funds and engaging your team with our cause

  • Volunteering your time by offering your professional skills to support our development

  • Donating gifts for raffles and auctions

  • Sponsorship opportunities for our events

  • Networking in the business community at our corporate events

 

What our partners say

We are very proud to be a Corporate partner of Dallaglio Rugby Works.  We support them because our core values align, not only in terms of the young people but their approach to the workforce. 

We strongly advocate for the work that they do because we believe that everyone deserves a second chance and to be given the right environment in which to thrive.

We receive fantastic, hands on support from DRW and it is a partnership which is truly centred around working together to achieve greater things.
