Standing Tall launches new Impact partnerships to drive meaningful change
Standing Tall, a leading social enterprise that matches people experiencing homelessness with stable living wage jobs, announced the launch of its new Impact Partnerships — an accessible sponsorship initiative inviting responsible businesses of all sizes to be part of life-changing social change.
As an Impact Partner, businesses can directly fund support that helps individuals experiencing homelessness leave the streets for good. Each partnership contributes to Standing Tall’s proven approach: matching people with a stable job, a safe home, and one-to-one support from a local Talent Scout, creating lasting pathways out of homelessness.
Accessible partnerships with tangible impact
Momentum Partners are at the heart of our new initiative, helping people into jobs within 12 months. With every £1,500 invested, a company supports one person into employment and generates £17,100 of social value. Choose from Bronze (£3,000 to help 2 people), Silver (£9,000 to help 6 people), or Gold (£15,000 to help 10 people), each with tailored benefits to showcase your impact. For bigger ambitions, Elevation Partnerships offer bespoke collaborations, while Pioneer Partnerships help us expand to new cities or fund another Talent Scout in one of our current cities, creating over £684,000 of social value.
Create local change in the communities you care about
Companies can choose to focus their impact on any of the cities we serve: Birmingham, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Nottingham, or Derby.
This targeted approach allows your partnership to directly transform lives in the communities that matter most to your business. It’s a powerful way to strengthen local connections and demonstrates your commitment to the areas where you operate, with clear, measurable impact.
Verified impact for ESG and beyond
Every Impact Partner receives a formal Impact Certificate, verifying the real social value created through the partnership. This supports robust ESG reporting, social value measurement, and demonstrates clear commitment to your communities.
"Impact Partnerships make it easy for any business to change lives and generate real social value," said Christy Acton, Founder and CEO of Standing Tall. "We’re proud to work with partners who share our commitment to ending homelessness."
"These partnerships are built on shared purpose — they’re about delivering measurable impact together," added Lara Millmow, Head of Partnerships at Standing Tall. "It’s incredible to see what we can achieve together with partners who are truly dedicated to creating genuine social change."
