Pathfinder Challenge Sponsorship
Back communities. Build connections. Shape change.
When you sponsor a Pathfinder Challenge, you’re not just funding a project – you’re playing an active role in helping your community to thrive.
We’ll help you bring together people, communities and organisations to find practical solutions to some of our biggest social challenges, test out new ideas, and spark lasting change.
Choose your challenge.
Our Pathfinder Challenges focus on five key themes:
Preventing and reducing poverty
Fostering inclusive growth
Dismantling barriers to work
Promoting digital inclusion
Achieving health equity
Why it matters
By investing in your community, you’re also investing in your customers, employees and suppliers. Sponsorship helps you:
Support your community: Help to shape solutions that reduce inequality and improve access to opportunity.
Build your reputation: Be recognised as a socially responsible business that leads with purpose and makes a visible difference.
Involve your people: Engage employees through volunteering, co-design and storytelling.
Deliver on your social value commitments: Align with ESG goals, supply chain agreements and accreditation.
Strengthen your supply chain: Bring suppliers on board and widen the impact.
How it works
Select a theme: Choose an issue that matters to you and your community.
Listen first: We’ll gather insight from people who care about the issue, making sure the challenge reflects real community needs.
Co-design solutions: We’ll host a practical, creative day, you’ll work side-by-side with people, communities and organisations to develop new ideas, spark connections and agree priorities for shared action.
Test and learn: We’ll support you to try out big ideas on a small scale, measure the impact, and share what works.
Showcase and influence: We’ll work with you and your community partners to share your story of change, and shape practice and policy.
