Corporate partnerships

Partner with Just Like Us, the LGBT+ young people’s charity.

Live your values

We work with companies to champion LGBT+ inclusion in schools – through campaigns, volunteering, and skills-sharing that create real change and genuine business value. From multi-year strategic partnerships, to ad-hoc lived experience panel events and team fundraising events, we meet businesses where they are and help them create impact in a way that works for them.

From culture to customer, Just Like Us helps businesses better engage with the communities important to them. 

“We are motivated by a desire to create a workplace where all colleagues feel a genuine sense of psychological safety – so they can be themselves and perform at their best. We were also keen to support a smaller charity where our involvement could have a more direct and meaningful impact.”

Beth Patterson, Artemis Investment Management LLP

Together, we deliver incredible impact

Businesses underpin our programmes, together we deliver incredible impact across the UK. Our corporate partnerships have achieved real change for LGBT+ young people.

“The Garnier session was super useful and supportive, it was great to have an opportunity to practice ahead of my first school talks and has really helped me feel more confident and less nervous.”

“He was always happy to answer one-off questions, offering insights which have directly contributed to my success in projects at work. A standout moment was visiting Dom at L’Oréal’s offices which inspired me to apply for a role there. I have landed my dream role at L’Oreal with an expanded knowledge of HR thanks to our time together. The experience has been instrumental in my professional growth, and I am really grateful.”

Whether you’re exploring your first charity partnership or looking to deepen an existing commitment to LGBT+ inclusion, we’d love to hear from you.

“It’s an honour to be able to help in this way. For me, it’s also a deeply meaningful chance to understand and appreciate the unique journeys that members of the LGBTQ+ community go through. I learn something new every time.

I’m genuinely thankful to be trusted with those stories.”
