Partnerships That Change Young People’s Lives
A partnership with 1625 is about more than fundraising. We work with businesses and organisations to create meaningful, collaborative partnerships that support young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. From fundraising and volunteering to skills-sharing, mentoring and other opportunities to get involved, there are many ways to use your organisation’s time, skills and resources to make a difference.
Together, we can create opportunities, strengthen communities and help young people build more secure, independent futures.

Thank you for making an impact and helping to end homelessness
Why partner with us
At 1625 Independent People, we believe that no young person should face or be at risk of homelessness. Every day, we support young people across the South West to move from crisis to stability, and from surviving to thriving.
We can’t do this alone.
By partnering with us, your organisation can play a direct role in creating lasting change for young people, while building a meaningful, purpose-driven partnership for your business.
More Than Fundraising: Meaningful Corporate Partnerships
Working with 1625 goes far beyond financial support.
We offer structured, collaborative partnerships that create real opportunities for your teams to get involved, from volunteering and mentoring to sharing professional skills and opening doors for young people through work experience.
Whether it’s hands-on engagement or strategic support, your people can make a tangible difference. Your skills become their skills, helping young people build confidence, independence, and pathways into the future.
We work closely with every partner to design opportunities that are meaningful, well-managed, and impactful, with clear communication and reporting so you can see the difference you’re making locally.
Real, Lasting Change for Young People
Your support enables life-changing outcomes.
Together, we can provide safe, stable accommodation, support young people into education and employment, improve mental health and wellbeing, and create a genuine sense of belonging.
Youth homelessness is a critical issue across Bristol and the South West, and the need for support has never been greater. By partnering with us, your organisation directly contributes to preventing homelessness and helping young people build long-term stability and independence.
This is real impact. The support you provide doesn’t just help temporarily, it can change the course of a young person’s life.
By investing in young people, you are investing in the future workforce, future communities, and a stronger society for all.
Tangible Value for Your Business
A partnership with 1625 delivers meaningful value for your organisation as well as for young people.
We offer clear alignment with your ESG and CSR goals, alongside measurable social value outcomes that support reporting and stakeholder engagement. Through our partnership, your business can demonstrate genuine commitment to your local community, strengthen employee engagement, and build positive brand association.
This is a partnership that works both ways, creating impact for young people while delivering real benefits for your organisation.
