Connected communities
People, places and practical support.
Our role varies by project, but the contribution should always be clear, useful and evidenced.
How we may be able to help
Different projects need different kinds of support.
Support is considered individually. These are examples of the practical routes that may be available rather than a promise that every project will receive every type of help.
Sponsorship
Financial or event sponsorship where there is a clear fit, defined purpose and appropriate evidence.
Digital & hosting
Website, hosting or practical digital support where a group business is well placed to help.
Promotion
Helping suitable community work reach more people through relevant group channels or expertise.
Volunteering
Practical time and involvement where the project, timing and available people make that realistic.
Fundraising support
Practical help with an appropriate fundraising activity or campaign, subject to the project and safeguards involved.
Practical help
Other useful in-kind support where we can make a genuine contribution rather than simply attach our name.

We look for the right fit

Agree what support actually means
If we can help, the contribution should be clear rather than described by a vague sponsorship label.

Read the project storyWho can approach us
Grassroots organisations are welcome to start the conversation.
We are interested in hearing from charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, sports clubs, schools, events and grassroots initiatives.
We normally need enough information to understand who benefits, where the work is happening, important dates, the type of support requested and what a useful outcome would look like.
Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee support. It gives us enough information to decide whether there is a realistic and responsible way for Invictus to contribute.

Common questions before you contact us.
Does Invictus fund every community request?
No. Every request is considered individually and an enquiry does not guarantee funding, sponsorship or another form of support.
What kinds of organisations can contact you?
Charities, community groups, sports clubs, schools, events, voluntary organisations and grassroots initiatives are all welcome to tell us what they are working on.
What information should we provide?
Tell us who you are, where the project is based, who benefits, relevant dates, what support you are seeking, the expected impact and any useful website or social links.
Can support be something other than money?
Yes. Depending on the project and available expertise, support may include digital or hosting help, promotion, volunteering, practical help or another suitable in-kind contribution.
Why are some projects not shown publicly?
We share selected project stories to help visitors understand the different ways Invictus works with community organisations.
