FOUNDING PARTNER PRACTICAL SUPPORT (IN-KIND OR FINANCIAL)

Founding Partners can directly remove access barriers for candidates by funding or supplying:

✅ Travel 
Season tickets, interview travel, first-week passes

✅ Technology and connectivity
Laptops or tablets, refurbished devices, mobile data bundles, home broadband support, wireless internet dongles

✅ Work clothing and equipment
Interview clothing, uniforms, safety boots and personal protective equipment, basic tools

✅ Living supports
Meal vouchers during training days, emergency hardship micro-grants

Disclosure and Barring Service checks, sector certifications, right-to-work document fees

✅ Care support
Small childcare or caring-cost bursaries to enable attendance

We still are not advertising opportunities in communities across the United Kingdom at the scale they deserve. As a Founding Partner, you can help change that.
