Corporate Partnerships

Corporate Sponsor Benefits For Your Business

Corporate sponsorship actively advances your CSR and DEI goals while delivering measurable business value. The right partnership increases employee engagement, maximises value for your investment, and adapts to your organisation’s priorities.

With a proven track record, authentic co-branding opportunities, and deep community roots, we help you create meaningful change while strengthening your brand from the inside out.

Increased employee engagement

Our projects have the possibility for multiple employee volunteering opportunities. These range from 15-minute-long regular events, such as supporting a weekly online class, through one-off, flexible/remote engagements, such as concept creation or proof reading, to team opportunities, such as creating a launch event for a new workbook.

Value for money

We can create impactful projects from as little as £500-£10,000.

These can range from a one-off print run of our workbooks for a new group of refugees to the creation of a whole new book from start to finish with employee volunteer involvement.

Flexibility

Our volunteering opportunities are fun, flexible, and genuinely meaningful, making the most of your employees’ valuable time and delivering a maximum impact for our end users as well as volunteer satisfaction.

Proven track record

Speak Street was a highly commended finalist in this year’s Lord Mayor’s Dragon awards for a corporate partnership with Mishcon De Reya. We have also won two Corporate Engagement awards

Proven impact

We evaluate our programmes with the help of Community Impact CIC to ensure we are delivering on our aims.

Experienced in co-branding

We can co-brand our materials and are flexible to sync with your priorities or messaging which you would like us to include.

Grassroots community partner

We are a grassroots, London-based organisation. We know the needs of the community we serve well and are proud to have many active volunteers and community partners who help us achieve our goals.

Impact Powered by Partnerships

We’ve partnered with leading London companies such as Linklaters, Mishcon de Reya, and Euromonitor.

We regularly gather feedback from our learners to measure engagement and improve our sessions. The testimonials below showcase the real experiences of learners and volunteers across our programmes.

Learner and Volunteer Testimonials

• “The way they do things here is good. I enjoy everything, the English class and the gardening. I have strongly improved my English” – Helen
• “I appreciate the way you are encouraging us to learn more to prepare for our future.” – Sara
• “I like Speak Street art talks sessions because it is important; it distracts me from our problems” – Amir
• “I have gained a very different impression of the area, before I only knew the main road but since starting the sessions I’ve seen all the beautiful shops and lovely places to sit down together”  – David
• “One of the students told me they didn’t think art galleries wanted people like them to visit, I was so pleased to see the student discover they were indeed welcome” – Speak Street Volunteer
• “As a volunteer I’ve enjoyed seeing the reaction of the student’s faces when they were truly fascinated and engaged by a piece of art.  It is extremely easy to volunteer on this project and not a large commitment in terms of time.  I think compared to last year, Speak Street has really stepped up its game in terms of the exhibits and galleries that it takes students to.  It is very important that Mishcon supports Speak Street because it is such a niche initiative and it also allows people from all walks of life to meet.” – Michaela, Mishcon de Reya  Volunteer

When Partner Commitment Meets Grassroots Action

When purpose and partnership come together, organisations don’t just support initiatives, they strengthen employee engagement, amplify brand credibility, and generate measurable social impact.

These partner stories illustrate what’s possible when companies collaborate authentically and deliver value inside their organisations and across the communities they serve.

Speak Street at C4WS

C4WS runs a winter night shelter in Camden, providing emergency accommodation for people with nowhere else to go. Guests typically come from more than 25 countries, and many face language barriers that make housing and wellbeing difficult.

We partnered to provide English classes every Wednesday afternoon. Over five months, guests improved their communication skills, gained confidence, and developed friendships within the shelter community.

The Speak Street teachers were warm, welcoming, and focused on topics that mattered including  health, employment, and home life. Guests eagerly prepared for each session, using apps and dictionaries, and many continued attending even after leaving the shelter.

Speak Street at Edith Neville Primary School

We have hosted Speak Street at our Family Centre and school for three years.

Joanna and Gee create a safe, welcoming environment for parents learning English. They adapt sessions to meet the changing needs of our school community, including newly arrived Afghan refugees. Online Zoom sessions and translators ensure all learners can participate fully.

“These sessions are vital for adults to improve their English and confidence. They are fun, practical, and everyone is treated with respect and care. We can’t thank Speak Street enough for their support, warmth, and dedication.” — Amy Hagemann, Edith Neville School
