“As a small, agile business, we identify with the beauty of small and we were instantly drawn to the Raise Your Hands ethos. They have worked with us to co-design a social impact programme that engages MV Credit staff. Our partnership has been nothing short of joyous and has enabled MV Credit to contribute positively to the lives of hundreds of young people we might not have otherwise been able to reach.”
Managing Partner, MV Credit
“…our staff always volunteer…”
“For MV Credit the ‘S’ in ESG has been a significant aspect of our corporate life for some time. Our commitment is perhaps best demonstrated by our charity days, employee volunteering for good causes, and support for the disadvantaged in local communities. Suffice to say, our staff always volunteer when it comes to supporting charities under the Raise Your Hands umbrella!”

Impact in action: Our partner success stories
-
The Dandelion Time Hackathon
The best partnerships don’t just raise funds — they build capacity. As part of our work with Marshall Wace, we designed a hackathon to solve a real operational challenge for Dandelion Time. Here’s how it came together.
-
The Secret Santa Challenge
Secret Santa: beloved office tradition or a fridge magnet from someone in marketing you’ve never met? A conversation with one of our charities got us thinking. What if we could harness it for good?

Stopping Educational Exclusion
Not every corporate partner wants to write a cheque. One of ours wanted to do something concrete for young people facing barriers to education. The result: ninety-five tablets in the hands of children who needed them most.
Why small charities?
Small charities are instrumental in improving young lives; they are agile, innovative, and have a profound impact with limited resources.
However, they frequently struggle to secure funding from traditional sources, with 88% of all UK funding going to the largest 5% of charities.
Raise Your Hands bridges that gap, introducing companies in the financial services sector to a portfolio of vetted, high-impact organisations that they wouldn’t find otherwise. Raise Your Hands gives corporations the confidence that their support will generate maximum social return.
About us
We connect individuals and companies with a platform of small and high-impact charities dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people in the UK.
Since 2015 we have directed more than £4m of unrestricted funding to these exceptional organisations.
