Corporate Partnerships

Why partner with Aspire?

Unfortunately, over the last 8 years, poverty levels have risen exponentially. 1 in 5 people are living in relative poverty in Northern Ireland. Resulting in 103,400 children today, in Northern Ireland are living in poverty. When we started Aspire, this figure was only at 69,000. So now, more than ever, young people need our help and support.

Aspire doesn't have a product to sell, or money to make outside of partnerships and funding. We rely on strong partners, to help us work with more young people, across Northern Ireland. The only way, we can work with more young people is by hiring more staff to facilitate sessions, run academies and build relationships in the community. To do this, we need to be able to fund wages and other expenses.

If you are considering partnering with Aspire, no matter how big or small. Please know, it means a lot to us that you are considering. We endeavour to make your decision as simple as possible. We are open to having conversations, sharing information and being on hand to help you as you decide if partnering with Aspire, is the right decision for your company.

with us. If there isn't and you feel there is another way that you might be able to help
us, please contact us and we would be happy to chat.
