Business Support

GMYN relies on the generosity of the North West business community. Your support will make a huge difference to the lives of young people facing significant challenges.

GMYN is one of those organisations that anyone who’s introduced to will fall in love with.”

How can your business support GMYN?

Make GMYN your company’s nominated charity of the year

Selecting GMYN as a nominated charity partner is a brilliant way to maximise your impact and make a difference over a longer period.

When you choose GMYN as your Charity of the Year, you’ll receive:   

  • Regular spotlights and recognition on our website, newsletter and social media channels.
  • A dedicated contact to support you throughout the partnership. 
  • Regular reporting on the positive difference you’re making. 
  • Physical and digital resources to promote the partnership, such as banners and social media templates.
  • Priority access to volunteering opportunities, networking events and bespoke training packages.   
Take part in a challenge or fundraising event

You could get involved in one of GMYN’s regular fundraising events as a participant or sponsor. Or GMYN could help you organise your own fundraising event.

We’ve previously helped supporters host sponsored walks, row-a-thons, raffles, quizzes, bake sales, padel tournaments and black-tie dinners.

Let us know your idea and we will do everything we can to make your event happen!

Check out our fundraising page to read more about how you can get involved.

Sponsor one of our services or events

Sponsoring a core service or event helps us continue our vital work and is great way to demonstrate your charitable commitments to customers and employees.

Your company’s branding will be attached to all associated marketing and you’ll get regular updates explaining the impact you’re making.

Volunteer your time or skills

By volunteering for GMYN, you could help young people develop new skills, build their confidence and improve their physical and mental wellbeing. We offer a range of volunteering opportunities from 5-a-football sessions to helping unaccompanied asylum-seeking children develop their English language skills. You could even support us by providing pro-bono services.

I’ve been involved now with GMYN for the last two years. It’s been an absolute privilege for me. You get an incredible sense of pride being able to support the young people.”
