Corporate Partnerships
CSR that lands where it matters.
Partnering with NRCF connects your business to meaningful social impact across Newark & Sherwood — while delivering real value for your team, your brand and your stakeholders. We work with businesses of all sizes to find the right partnership for you.
What your business gets back
We know that a partnership has to work for you as well as for us. Here's what businesses who partner with NRCF actually gain.
Genuine CSR credentials
Show customers, employees and investors that your business is committed to the communities it serves. Partnership with a registered charity provides tangible, reportable evidence of your CSR commitments.
Staff engagement that sticks
Volunteering days and team challenges build morale, develop skills and give employees a shared sense of purpose beyond the workplace — the kind of engagement that surveys can't manufacture.
Brand visibility in the community
Gain visibility across our events, communications, social media and website — reaching families, schools and community organisations across Newark & Sherwood.
Measurable impact you can report
We report back to partners on the impact of their support — so you can see exactly how your investment is changing lives and use that data in your own reporting.
Employer Partnership
Connect with your next generation of talent.
Our Careers & Employability strand is building a post-16 pipeline that connects education, rugby, coaching, volunteering, apprenticeships and employment into a coherent pathway for young people in Newark. As an employer partner, you're not just a sponsor — you're an active part of that pipeline, with direct access to motivated young people who are ready to take their next step.

Other ways to support us
Payroll giving
Payroll giving (also known as Give As You Earn) lets your employees donate to NRCF directly from their salary before tax — meaning every pound goes further. We can provide materials to help you set up a scheme.
Employee volunteering days
Give your team a day to make a real difference. Whether it's coaching a rugby session, helping at a community event or supporting a fundraiser, we'll work with you to create a meaningful experience.
In-kind support
Do you have skills, services or equipment that could help us? We welcome in-kind contributions including professional services, printing, catering, IT support and more. Get in touch to discuss what you could offer.
Match funding
Many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees. If your company has a match funding scheme, encourage your team to donate to NRCF and double the impact.
Get in touch
Tell us a little about your business and what you're looking for, and a member of the NRCF team will be in touch within five working days.
Prefer to speak to someone first? Call us or drop us an email — we're always happy to have an informal conversation.
