Give the Gift of Membership

As a professional passionate about social mobility, you know how much the right access can change a young person's life.

Why Gift?

The advancement of technology and the way we work have changed the employment landscape, especially for young people entering the workforce. Professional networks, skills development and real-world experience have never been more important.
Give the Gift of Membership to provide a young person with unparalleled access to some of the most inspiring and diverse professionals and industry leaders out there, from exclusive networking opportunities to skill-building workshops that will give them the leadership and professional edge to secure employment.
Whether you choose a one-off gift to kickstart their journey or a monthly membership to support them every step of the way, your contribution ensures they leave with the skills, connections and confidence they need to thrive. For SME leaders ready for an apprentice, the young person you sponsor today could be your next great hire tomorrow.

Immediate Impact

Your gift funds a real experience for a real young person. It's not a donation to a general fund.

No Strings Attached

The young person receives their membership and all included benefits without any obligation.

Tax-efficient Giving

Gifting through DLN supports a registered social enterprise working to tackle youth unemployment and support diverse talent.
