Corporate partnerships
Helping deliver the things that matter in childhood.
Every Buttle grant your company supports is a real child’s story. A young person receiving the things they need to feel safe, to learn, to belong and to move forward.
Our corporate partners don’t just raise funds.
Corporate partnerships help deliver the essential items and meaningful experiences that children and young people across the UK are currently going without.
From laptops for learning to beds for a safe night’s sleep, from school essentials to activities that spark joy and confidence, your partnership helps put these things directly into the hands of the children who have been dismantled by disadvantage.
More than a donation — a community of support.
By partnering with Buttle, your organisation becomes part of a community standing behind children facing some of the toughest moments of their lives. Our partners help us:
- fund the items and activities at the heart of our grants
- raise awareness of what children are really facing today
- bring new ideas and expertise to how we deliver support
- reach more families, faster, right across the UK
Together, we’re giving young people access to the everyday things that help them smile, breathe easy and stand taller.
A partnership built around what your business does best.
No two partnerships look the same. We work closely with each company to design an approach that uses your time, skills, resources and networks in the most meaningful way.
Whether you want to fund specific items, support a regional focus, amplify children’s voices or co-create something bold and new — we will build it with you.
Let’s deliver what’s important in childhood, together.
If your organisation is ready to make a direct, tangible difference in children’s lives, we’d love to talk. Get in touch and let’s explore what we can create together.
Some of our most impactful partnerships...
Asda
In 2022, we were delighted to work with George at ASDA on their Better Starts campaign to provide children on the lowest incomes with school uniform.
With the cost-of-living crisis coming right on the heels of the pandemic, so many children and young people, whose parents and carers were barely getting by, found themselves struggling with the daily essentials, let alone a new school uniform.
George at ASDA’s Community Team immediately understood the problem and provided £125,000 in Gift Cards, which we were able to distribute through our grants.
This helped ensure that children in the lowest income families had everything they needed to fully engage with school and a uniform that they could be proud of.
The campaign also resulted in some excellent TV and radio coverage including BBC Radio, Sky and Channel 5 news, highlighting the school uniform crisis.
Graphite Capital — investing in young people’s futures.
Facing the future can be tough at the best of times. With a long-term view on future growth and opportunity, Graphite Capital came to us wanting to make a sustained, life-changing impact for young people facing major disadvantages.
Their answer was bold: a £1 million, 10-year commitment to support young people who are estranged from their parents or carers, a group often left without financial or emotional support.
Together, we created the Graphite Capital Bursary Fund, focused on education, training and the essential items that help estranged young people move forward with confidence.
Their long-term investment has:
- expanded our support for a particularly vulnerable group
- strengthened this work as a key part of our grant giving
- given young people the tools they need to build their own future
Practical, intentional and transformational — this is partnership at its most powerful.
Simba Sleep — giving children a safe place to dream.
Determined to tackle bed poverty head-on, Simba Sleep partnered with us to launch their Dreamspace initiative. Over the coming months, they will donate 500 bed bundles to children from low-income families across the UK.
Each bundle includes a single bed base, mattress, duvet, pillows and a mattress protector — everything a child needs for a safe, warm place to sleep.
For many children, this is the first time they’ve had a bed of their own.
Partnerships like this transform everyday life for children, helping them rest, learn and feel secure.

Westfield Specialty
Westfield Specialty Insurance have been incredible, supporting us over the last 6 years choosing us as their charity of the year in 2024 & 2025, as well as taking on personal challenges. From marathons, abseiling Lloyds of London, to sponsoring a variety of our events including the 30th anniversary of The Italian Job Car Rally. Supporting us through both Covid and the cost-of-living crisis, it was great to work with their charity team, who were focused on leveraging the partnership to deliver the biggest impact possible for the children we support and involving as many staff members as possible in their efforts.
