Future Proof

Charity partners

We work with numerous charities to support and promote their work, particularly where there is a strong link to skills development.

Our charity partners are diverse, but share our dedication to helping people progress and develop.

We support our chosen charities in many ways. These include contributing towards special events and providing complimentary qualification and assessment services.

We also volunteer our time. All City & Guilds Group employees, no matter where they’re based, are given three days each year to volunteer.

Who we support

The charities we support are primarily located in the United Kingdom. Some examples of our partnerships include:
