Derby County Community Trust, a leading local charity dedicated to improving lives and communities through sport, physical activity, health and education is proud to announce the launch of a new proposal inviting businesses to engage through purpose-driven investment opportunities.

The Trust Partner programme has been an integral part of the charity’s corporate partnership offer since 2022 and has seen over 40 local businesses support their projects over the last 3 years. To support a significant period of change at the organisation, Derby County Community Trust have refreshed the offer to reflect developments not only internally but also within the local and national business landscape.

This strategic initiative offers businesses a unique chance to align their financial goals with social action. By becoming a Trust Partner, organisations can help to scale Derby County Community Trust’s programmes, increase long-term sustainability, and co-create change in our communities.

“We’re excited to provide prospective partners with an offer where doing good and doing business can go hand in hand,” said Chris Tomlinson, Head of Business Development at Derby County Community Trust. “This proposal is not just about funding—it’s about forging partnerships that lead to impact and change.”

The proposal outlines several opportunities which range from monthly direct debit charitable donations as part of the 1946 Business Club through to event sponsorship and gold, silver and bronze tiered options. Through these opportunities the Trust are committed to work in collaboration with businesses to support their corporate social responsibility and environmental, social and governance strategies. 

Each partnering organisation will receive a host of benefits and opportunities alongside the knowledge that they will be supporting a highly regarded charity that delivers impactful and essential programmes to communities in Derby and Derbyshire. 

Interested partners are invited to Derby County Community Trust’s Breakfast Launch Event at Pride Park at 8.00am on Thursday 3^rd July 2025 where they can find out more about partnership opportunities, network with other organisations and learn how collaboration can elevate their CSR strategy. You can book your FREE space at the event here.
