Partners for Change
Partners for Change: a unique alliance between our charity and your business
Join our Partners for Change and help us make a profound difference to the lives of children and young people in your community. In return for your support, you will receive recognition on our website, at events and on our social media channels as well as receive promotional materials to use within your business.
We believe that all children and young people should have a fair chance to be who they want to be. Sadly, many of them are facing more adversity than ever that prevents their lives starting well. We cannot do the work we do without the support of our incredible corporate partners. Together, we can transform young lives and give children and young people hope for a brighter future.

Testimonials from our Partners for Change
"Consort are involved to help promote the fantastic work that YMCA DownsLink Group provides for young people in local communities. We are proud to be a part of helping the support, security, and opportunities that this brilliant organisation gives to those individuals. We hope that we can help in some small way for them to continue to make those big differences."
-Consort Frozen Foods
"We’ve proudly supported YMCA DownsLink Group and the vital work they do in our local communities for a number of years, through corporate membership and fundraising activities. Recently, we’ve given young people paid work placements and training opportunities at our company. We recognise that these young people face additional challenges and barriers to the workplace and hope that in some small way we can help them fulfil their potential.”
-GM Monk
“Trident is proud to support businesses and charities across Brighton, Sussex, and beyond with expert IT consultancy, support, cloud solutions, cybersecurity, and compliance. We understand that the young adults of our area represent its future and are keenly aware of the essential role YMCA DLG plays in providing them with accommodation and support and helping them feel valued and secure. We’re immensely proud to serve as a YMCA DLG corporate sponsor and to support its transformative work in enabling young people to thrive, find their place in the world, and reach their true potential”
-Trident
"We don’t believe anyone should be homeless and it's even more tragic when that person hasn’t even reached adulthood. Living in Brighton and brewing locally, supporting a local charity was important to me and I can't think of a better charity to support. The youth of today are tomorrow's entrepreneurs and we hope we can help make a difference and allow YMCA DownsLink Group to do what they do best in offering support, stability and a roof over the head of those that really need it, at a time in life when they should never have to deal with homelessness."
