Corporate giving and Partnerships

Make a positive impact on young people through your business

By supporting Youth Talk, your business can make a real difference to young people’s mental health right here in St Albans and the surrounding areas. We work with local businesses who want to give back, support their community and be part of something meaningful.

We offer a range of ways for businesses to get involved, whatever your size or capacity. In return, we are committed to recognising, celebrating and sharing the impact our corporate partners help to make. Together, we can ensure more young people have someone to talk to when they need it most.

How your business can get involved

The Youth Talk Impact Circle brings together local businesses who are committed to supporting young people’s mental health in our community. It is a flexible and inclusive way to get involved, designed to recognise and celebrate support in all its forms.

Rather than a traditional sponsorship model, businesses can contribute in ways that work for them. This might include regular or one off donations, Charity of the Year partnerships, event sponsorship, staff fundraising or strategic partnerships. What matters most is the impact made and being part of a shared community that cares.
 
Impact Circle members are recognised based on their overall annual contribution, with clear benefits at each level. All members receive recognition on our website, a Youth Talk Impact Circle badge for their communications, invitations to events and updates on the difference their support is making.

Twice a year, we bring our business community together for our Youth Talk Business Breakfasts.

These events feature inspiring keynote speakers covering a range of topics, alongside opportunities to network with other local businesses who share a commitment to supporting young people.

Business Breakfasts are a chance to connect, learn and support Youth Talk’s work in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Impact Circle members may receive complimentary or priority access as part of their benefits package.

Our Raffle Prize Sponsorship Club is a simple but powerful way for businesses to support Youth Talk throughout the year.

Businesses commit to donating raffle prizes with a total annual value that aligns with one of our four sponsorship tiers. Each tier includes a set of promotional and engagement benefits, helping us to recognise your support and share it with our wider community.

Raffle prizes play a vital role in the success of our fundraising events and help raise essential funds for counselling services.
