Through our work in English, arts and education we make a real difference to the lives of millions of people in the UK and around the world.

We collaborate with a broad spectrum of organisations, leveraging our global networks, expertise and trust to help them achieve their goals. When it comes to our business partners, we fully understand their corporate social responsibility and marketing strategies. Equally, we appreciate our public and third sector partners’ aims in development, education and the arts.

Partners can become involved with our work in a variety of ways, from basic event sponsorship to long-term collaboration. In return we give our partners the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of audiences, raise their profile, gain goodwill, and extend their networks.

Our partnership success stories highlight the benefits of partnering with us.
