Together with Burger King, UK Youth is tackling digital inequality by equipping youth organisations with the funding, tools, and expertise needed to support young people in an increasingly digital world. Through targeted grant funding and strategic, skills-based support—including over 200 hours of pro bono legal assistance—this partnership is helping organisations build long-term resilience and improve digital capacity. So far, more than 20,000 young people have benefited from enhanced digital services, with all 20 grantee organisations reporting strengthened capability.
This collaboration shows the powerful impact of combining financial investment with expert support to drive meaningful, measurable change for youth services across the UK.
UK Youth is proud to partner with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in a long-standing relationship built on shared values, open dialogue, and a joint commitment to creating lasting impact for young people. They’ve been our partners since 2018, and are a powerful example of how sustained, strategic investment can drive real change. At the heart of our collaboration is the Building Connections programme—now in its third year—delivered by a network of nine trusted youth organisations. Its light-touch, high-impact model extends vital support to young people while generating unrestricted funding, directly supporting CCEP’s mission to make a meaningful difference in communities across the UK.
We’re proud to be working with nexfibre in a bold, unrestricted partnership focused on closing the digital divide for young people. Over the next two years, nexfibre will provide free fibre broadband to up to 1,150 youth organisations across the UK—bringing high-speed connectivity to the heart of communities that need it most.
This ambitious collaboration is about more than internet access—it’s about unlocking opportunities. Together, we’re ensuring that every young person has the tools to learn, connect, and thrive in an increasingly digital world.

Alongside funding, Osborne Clarke provides pro bono legal support, mentoring, and volunteering, helping youth organisations strengthen governance, build capacity, and improve long‑term impact. This partnership demonstrates the power of combining corporate expertise with targeted grant‑making to unlock opportunities for young people in a rapidly changing digital world.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary in the UK, Primark has launched a bold new partnership with UK Youth—its first ever centralised approach to local charitable giving. Together, we’re distributing £175,000 in grants to youth organisations within 50 miles of Primark stores, directing support to the heart of local communities. This partnership goes beyond funding, with Primark committed to building lasting relationships between its store teams and youth organisations, encouraging staff engagement and deeper community ties.
In partnership with RSA Insurance, UK Youth is delivering the Building Aspirations Programme—a two-year initiative designed to boost social mobility and employability for disadvantaged young people in Manchester and Liverpool, where NEET rates are twice the national average. Each year, the programme supports over 120 young people through a tailored skills curriculum and access to a scholarship fund that helps remove financial barriers to training and employment.
With 76% of participants living in the most deprived areas and 78% identified as NEET, the impact is significant. RSA staff are also actively engaged—volunteering, fundraising, and even offering paid placements and permanent roles, showing the real-world value of this partnership in transforming young lives
Our corporate partners are helping to drive real change for young people across the UK. From funding vital programmes to sharing skills and time, their support creates a lasting impact. Many also take on group fundraising challenges — from the Jurassic Coast Ultra-Challenges to running the TCS London Marathon — raising both funds and awareness for our work. We’re proud to shine a light on their contributions.
