Community partnerships
Supporting the communities in which we operate
We collaborate with an incredibly diverse range of communities. Organisations of all different sizes, in a variety of sectors, with distinct and shared challenges and ambitions. We believe that by working together towards a common goal we can continue to deliver great results.
Heart of England Forest
We have partnered with The Heart of England Forest as a Forest Founder to help drive progress forward by delivering tangible impact by helping grow the forest, ensuring tree health and maintenance, and optimising habitats that benefit the environment as well as wildlife. We are also funding pupils from a school in Birmingham (Kings Ark Academy) to take part in their vital ‘One Year in the Forest Learning & Skills’ project. The project will allow the pupils to have weekly intervention visits to the Heart of England Forest and support in improving their core knowledge of nature, social skills, emotional regulation and mental health.
Alzheimer’s Research UK
We have partnered with Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK) to play a crucial role in their search for a cure and help those who are affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s. One of the ways we have contributed to their cause is through our ‘wear it orange’ campaign during World Alzheimer’s Month, with colleagues wearing orange to show our united stand in fighting the disease. We have also raised funds for ARUK across our office network through raffles and cake sales, as well as making a charitable donation to support ARUK’s research into frontotemporal dementia, a rare form of dementia.
Regeneration Brainery
We are proud to be a champion partner with Regeneration Brainery, a non-profit organisation whose mission is to diversify the property and regeneration industry by nurturing future talent and increasing social mobility. To date, we have welcomed students and ambassadors to our London and Manchester offices as part of their Brainery weeks.
University Academy 92 (UA92)
UA92 works with exceptional individuals, organisations and businesses with the aim of fast-tracking our students’ careers and providing top talent to drive tomorrow’s business successes. Alongside making introductions to our clients and contacts as potential UA92 partners, we have also supported two UA92 students for the 22/23 academic year through a financial bursary as well as additional enrichment opportunities. We have over 40 UA92 mentors who provide UA92 students with one-to-one mentoring during their studies.
RunThrough
Our support sees us become the headline partner for five RunThrough running festivals across Birmingham, the East Midlands and Leeds in 2024 which are open to colleagues, clients, and contacts. We are also the headline partner for the 2024 Chase the Sun series in London and Manchester that sees runners complete either a 5km or 10km midweek run before the sun sets.
STEAMHouse
Situated in the heart of Birmingham in the extensively redeveloped Belmont Works, Birmingham City University’s STEAMHouse incubator is a large-scale collaboration and maker space set up to support local start-ups/ spin-outs from ideation through to implementation. We support STEAMHouse in driving innovation bringing inventors, entrepreneurs, businesses and craftspeople together to develop exciting new ideas and products; an initiative that closely aligns with our forward-thinking values.

Gateley’s Purpose Pod shares insight from the forward thinkers the business engages with and looks at how Gateley delights its clients, inspires its people and supports its communities.
