Strategic partnerships 

Partnerships with a real purpose enable us to align our strategic objectives. These partnerships go beyond funding and offer an exciting opportunity for pro bono working, skill sharing and collaboration to achieve a shared vision. 

Charity of the Year 

Choose the CET us as your Charity of the Year and we’ll work with you on a range of exciting fundraising, volunteering and awareness-raising activities. Get in touch if you’d like to nominate us.  

Brand partnerships 

By partnering with a well-respected Commonwealth organisation, you can engage your customers and inspire them to sponsor teachers who are not often recognised for their work. Whether you’re looking to increase sales, launch a new product or gain positive PR, we can work with you to create a cause-related marketing campaign to achieve your objectives. 

Volunteering and skills sharing 

We believe in creating volunteering opportunities that provide real value to our charity and to the employees who donate their time. We provide opportunities that allow employees to directly support our teachers and teacher communities.  Sharing is also a great way for your employees to use their knowledge and expertise in a new way to support a charity, while also developing new skills and knowledge to take back to your company. 

Our inclusive approach enables us to partner with organisations of all sizes. These range from the small NGOs which support 10 teachers working in a deprived communities, to large  organisations of over 2000 members.

No matter the size of your organisation, we offer personalised partnership packages for your teachers that include access to the following via our Teach2030 platform:

• Digital courses
• Support materials
• Virtual workshops
• Regular progress reports and updates
