Here at TalkTalk, we have a proud history of working with a range of charities both nationally and locally to raise funds and awareness.

We are now looking for a 'Charity of the Year' to partner with for 2025. Through our brand-new partnership, we will launch a series of fundraising events with the ambition of raising £10,000 to help the charity's mission. Plus, the charity will benefit from volunteering support and increased visibility.

    Who can apply?

    We need applications from the charity themselves, so if you work for a charity simply fill in our form. We are unable to accept applications from individuals who do not work for the charity directly, and the contact name and details should be that of the person submitting the form.

    We are open to charities who are fully registered with the Charity Commission and have a charity number, with no political or religious affiliations. You should be able to support several fundraising events throughout the year and have a colleague who can work with us to help jointly promote the partnership.

    Ideally the charity should have a connection to the North West of England, and have ideas about how our partnership can foster digital inclusion in some form.

    What's the selection process?

    A colleague-focused Charity Committee will draw up a small shortlist from the applications. Shortlisted charities will be asked to pitch to colleagues in January 2025, with a colleague vote deciding the Charity of the Year shortly afterwards. Only shortlisted charities will be contacted due to the likely volume of applications received.
