Our Partners
Collaboration is at the heart of Bedford Giving. Our strength comes from working with a diverse network of founding partners, coalition partners, and corporate supporters. Together, we’re creating opportunities and building a brighter future for the next generation.
Our Founding Partners
BG was founded by a group of passionate businesses, charities and local organisations who came together to create Bedford Giving for the next generation in Bedford. Find out more about how it all began.
Eight founding partners joined forces:
Each organisation has strong roots to Bedford and a deep commitment to its young people. By combining resources, skills, expertise and passion, they knew they could achieve far more together than alone.
