Backing change where it matters most
Patrons
Without the dedicated support of our incredible patrons, Switch Up simply would not be where it is today.
These passionate individuals help to raise our profile, connecting us with new opportunities, supporting our fundraising efforts and introducing us to new communities and vital businesses.
Our celebrity patrons and committed ambassadors are truly invested and highly engaged, actively supporting our work.
Many host charity events, podcasts, lead promotional campaigns across social media, assist with staff recruitment, champion the benefits of literacy, numeracy, and wider learning for our education pillar, and help to raise essential awareness of our services.
