Support us

Built by community. Driven by purpose.

Get involved and help us support more young people. With growing need for engagement in civil society and democracy, we use the experience and programmes of the The Patchwork Foundation to help develop the next generation of young leaders.

We aim to strengthen democracy and wider society by improving the services we deliver. As a volunteer-led organisation, the The Patchwork Foundation has built a strong network of supporters, ensuring that 100% of funds raised go directly towards developing young people and removing barriers to access.

How to support us

Financial Support

Patchwork is only able to impact the lives of young people and the face of politics with your financial support. Whether it’s through sponsoring one of our programmes, or through a donation, your support will make a difference. We have a range of financial opportunities through which you can support our work and help young people from disadvantaged and minority communities.

Venue Space

Are you able to host a large event, Masterclass (boardroom style for 35 people), or small meetings? Patchwork is only able to do the work we do with kind gestures and support from those in our networks. If you think you could help us by hosting one of our events, or programme activities we would love to hear from you.

In kind Support

Do you have a skill that would be useful to Patchwork; such as graphic design, photography, videography or support with training, and would like to support the work we do? Get in touch to discuss how you can get involved.

Introductions

At Patchwork, we want to be able to positively impact as many young people as possible, and help support their active participation in civil life. If you can introduce more people to Patchwork and the work we do that would be great. It could be a young person who could apply to one of our programmes, or a corporate who may be able to support the work we do – or anything in between!

Alumni Spotlight

“As a former Patchworker who learnt about the inner sanctums of politics through a Masterclass several years ago, it’s very special to now use some of that knowledge to help guide my journey as a Member of Parliament. Getting involved in a Patchwork Masterclass and a visit to No10 played an important part of me realising that I could have a seat at the table, and that the political world was open to me too. I’m now determined to pay that forward to ensure that the young people of today have the confidence, the knowledge and the insights to be the politicians of tomorrow.”
