Partnership
We are continually building meaningful partnerships with businesses and organizations across Derby, Derbyshire, and Nationally. To support this, we’ve developed a three-tier partnership package to support financially and resource-wise with the development of the tour and charity. This is a great opportunity for Businesses, Organisations, Communities, and Individuals. Check out the information below and contact us for more information. We really look forward to working with you. You can visit our policies here.
You can also support us by shopping in our Merch Store. For the full package presentation, it can be downloaded here.
