Connecting Futures
Can your organisation connect young people to their futures? Find out more about our brand new corporate membership programme.
Connecting Futures is an annual corporate membership programme for organisations wanting to contribute to the futures of children and young people in central London. Your commitment will provide them with safe spaces where they can build meaningful relationships and improve their wellbeing. We’ll work with your team to help young people access new opportunities and build the skills they need to take charge of, and shape a brighter future for themselves.
Your organisation will have the chance to transform young people’s futures by utilising your team’s skills, knowledge and expertise. Your team will also be able to get involved with volunteering and activities across Coram’s Fields, from gardening and painting to helping out at our popular sports and community events.
A unique opportunity
Through working closely with Coram’s Fields, your organisation will have access to:
- Opportunities to transform young people’s futures, including through mentorships, shadowing, work experience, office tours and networking.
- Staff engagement and volunteer activities onsite at Coram’s Fields.
- Marketing materials to proudly showcase your commitment including a Connecting Futures logo, regular updates and an annual impact report.
A membership is a year-round commitment through which you can broadcast your support for your community in partnership with Coram’s Fields.
Become a member in a way to suit you, through either joining our Growth or Investment tier.
