Community & charity
Partnerships
Recognising the great inequalities in society today, our Social Impact programme aims to support local, national and international organisations that seek to improve the lives of children and young people through:
- The advancement of education (both academic and extra-curricular)
- The Improvement of physical & mental health and well-being
- The relief from poverty, including access to clean water and sanitisation, technology, food and security (e.g. foodbanks, homeless and refugee charities)
- The protection and improvement of our environment
Applications open for the academic year 2026/27 on Friday, 1st May 2026. Coinciding with the Dragon’s 150th anniversary celebrations, we’re aiming to make this our most ambitious and successful fundraising year to date. We’re inviting charities that support children, young people, families, or the environment to apply.
Please note: nominated charities should be registered in the UK.
This year (2025/26), we are proud to support Flexicare, Dreams Come True and Horatio’s Garden.
