Corporate Support

The support we receive from BUSINESSES is an invaluable part of our fundraising. There are many ways we can work with businesses and can offer lots in return to firms who want to make us their Charity of the Year! You can help us to end Duchenne by choosing us as your charity of the year.

Duchenne UK has been Foodbuy's Charity of the Year since 2017. Managing Director of Foodbuy, Oliver Cock said:

We've worked closely with Duchenne UK this year and being a smaller charity, led by two inspiring founders, it's been much easier to establish a meaningful connection. Our employees feel part of something tangible and important, and have raised more money than they did for more established charities. Their Duchenne events, including the Duchenne Dash, are hugely life-affirming, inspiring, meticulously organised and original.

We are always looking for ways to engage support from businesses. We are lucky to have received support in both financial terms and pro-bono work. We can offer lots in return to firms who want to make us their charity of the year. Please contact us here for more information.

We would like to thank the following companies for their support:
