Charity partnerships

A partnership with us is a community investment that will help fulfil your corporate social responsibility aims and show your commitment to making a real difference to the lives of young people in the local community who are homeless or threatened with homelessness.

We would be delighted to explore ways of working with your company. Please contact Jennie Rawlings at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 01707 251384 to discuss further.

There are a number of ways to work with hyh and make a difference, including:

Sponsorship: There are a variety of opportunities from advertising at events, in publications and on running/cycling shirts.
Cause related marketing: An opportunity to associate your company’s brand / product with one of UK’s and Hertfordshire’s pressing social issues.
Corporate donations and gifts in kind: We spend a significant proportion of our income on professional services, utilities and equipment. If we can cover the costs with gifts-in-kind we free up finance to invest in our charitable work.
Charity partners: A partnership with us can provide measurable results against strategic objectives, effective PR and media coverage as well as a public association with a well-known cause.

This is a great way for staff to participate in something fun and may have lasting benefits on motivation, morale, and working relationships. As well as fundraising, employees can support us by volunteering, match funding, or taking advantage of our payroll giving scheme.
