MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND CREATING A BRIGHTER FUTURE

Port Vale Foundation is part of a huge fabric of Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire supporting people in various ways. We recognise that no organisation can go it alone in trying to make Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire a better place to live, work and visit.

We are driven to make every member of the community proud of our work and we would not exist without them.

The support from partners in the public, private and the community sectors make our work happen. This includes our work with a range of regional and national partners who share our values and support us in achieving our goals. If you are a local business who shares our vision and would like to get involved in our work, we have a range of ways that you can be involved. We welcome an opportunity to discuss Sponsorship, CSR, and Philanthropic Partnerships aligned to the great work and impact we can achieve together.

Here are what some of our existing partners and participants say about working with us…

“The partnership with Port Vale Foundation has been excellent, it has been a privilege to work alongside a fantastic organisation doing amazing things for the local community. As sponsors of the Golden Valiants programme we have great pride in seeing how the programme has grown.” Paul and Sandra Edden, Home Instead Senior Care UK “Port Vale Foundation have supported a group of 7 students from the Academy to take part in the Port Vale Foundation Mentoring Project. The project has supported students to improve behaviour, motivation and to explore various life skills. The 1 to 1 sessions have built confidence, developed resilience and improved the pupils outlook on life.” Karen Porter, Vice Principal, St Peter’s Academy “The holiday camps were so much fun. I enjoyed the football, stadium tours and climbing wall. If I didn’t come to the summer camp I would be getting bored at home and just be playing online all day or watching movies.” Participant, aged 9, Port Vale Summer Camp
