New partnership champions community and workplace wellbeing

A Midlands contractor has partnered with a local community trust to support vital initiatives that benefit the community, while promoting workplace mental health and career opportunities.

Family-run G F Tomlinson has joined forces with Derby County Community Trust (DCCT) as an Associate Trust Partner for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.

The partnership includes a donation to DCCT’s community work and access to its mental health programmes, helping G F Tomlinson’s employees with tailored workshops and seminars.

As part of the collaboration, G F Tomlinson will sponsor Derby County’s under 14 female team, supporting training programmes and providing kits for the 2024/2025 season, which helps bolster the Female Talent Pathway at the club and provides opportunities for young female footballers from the local area.

The company will also back DCCT’s Harrison’s Hub Community Meals by funding and volunteering at events to assist vulnerable individuals.

Pete Collins, fundraising and partnerships manager at Derby County Community Trust, said: “We are delighted to welcome G F Tomlinson as an Associate Trust Partner.

“Their support will be instrumental in helping us continue our vital community programmes.

“Sponsorship of the under 14 female team and their involvement with Harrison’s Hub Community Meals demonstrates a deep commitment to making a tangible difference and we look forward to building a strong relationship and seeing the positive impact of their involvement."

Andy Sewards, group chairman at G F Tomlinson, added: "We are proud to partner with Derby County Community Trust to support them in the invaluable work they do for the local community.

“As a business deeply rooted in Derby for over 130 years, we clearly see the trust’s initiatives make a real difference to daily lives, something of which is incredibly close to our hearts.

“We’re delighted to contribute to both the future of young talent and the well-being of the wider community, and this partnership aligns perfectly with our values as a business."
