Working with organisations

Corporate support like yours is vital in helping women with convictions move beyond their past to a life where they can thrive. We rely on the generosity of the public to keep our services running, with voluntary donations making up the majority of the £1m we need this year.

Your company can have a direct impact on the lives of women with convictions, supporting them to develop their employability, secure sustainable employment and build a financially independent future.

Why Working Chance?

Human beings have an incredible capacity to change, if given the opportunity. We can’t turn back the clock for women with convictions, but we can give them the chance to move forward. We look forward to working with partners who can help us in this mission.

Our dedicated team will work closely with you to create a unique relationship, helping you to increase employee motivation, engage your customers and enhance your brand reputation.

Our partnership with The Big Yellow Foundation

In 2023, The Big Yellow Foundation selected Working Chance as a charity partner. The Big Yellow Foundation is the charitable arm of The Big Yellow Storage Company, set up in 2018 to help vulnerable people lead brighter lives.

The Big Yellow Foundation has been incredibly generous, supporting Working Chance with funding of £77,500 over the first two years of our partnership, enabling us to support more women to build a positive future.

Some of the ways we have worked together:

Working Chance supported the Big Yellow Storage Company with inclusive hiring, providing practical advice and support to update their recruitment policies
The Big Yellow Storage Company provide successful work placements for the women we work with
Working Chance delivered workshops for Big Yellow’s 200 branch managers on why and how to hire people with convictions
Continuing to develop volunteering opportunities for Big Yellow staff.

“Our partnership with Big Yellow in 2024 really stood out as a great example of how charity/corporate partnerships should work. We have a multi-faceted relationship, including funding, training and work experience placements for the women we support into employment, and it has worked both ways, as good partnerships should.

"Honest dialogue between Working Chance and Big Yellow has led us to identify volunteering opportunities for Big Yellow staff that are meaningful for them, while also meeting a need for us. Communication has always been open and straightforward, which we have really appreciated.”
