We’re delighted to announce that Connecting Business is the lead sponsor of The Nightingale Foundation, a charity close to our founder Lee Nightingale’s heart, who co-founded the organisation to give children and underprivileged families a fair shot at opportunity.
Our Mission, Shared
As Lee puts it: “Our mission is to provide children and underprivileged families with access to sport and technology to help with their physical and mental well-being as well as their educational needs.”
That mission plays out in practical, everyday support:
- Sport access — covering membership fees, coaching sessions and equipment so cost is never the reason a child misses out on a team.
- Technology for learning — donating pre-loved laptops, mobile phones and TVs so young people can do their homework, stay connected, and simply switch off and relax like any other kid.
- Community support — standing alongside local refugee charities and groups, extending the Foundation’s reach to some of the most vulnerable families in our community.
Why We’re Backing It
At Connecting Business, we believe technology and opportunity should go hand in hand — it’s the same principle that drives our CRM and business process work with clients every day. Supporting The Nightingale Foundation as lead sponsor is a natural extension of that belief: helping people connect to the tools and support they need to thrive.
As a Pledge 1% company, giving back has always been part of how we operate, and this partnership lets us put that commitment directly behind a cause with real, visible impact on families in our community.
