A partnership that makes a difference
At Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity, we believe the strongest corporate partnerships are built on shared values, meaningful engagement and a commitment to making a positive difference.
We support children under five with cerebral palsy, motor learning impairments, chromosome abnormalities and rare genetic disorders that affect movement, communication, and development. Through specialist early intervention, we help children build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to reach their full potential. We also provide emotional support and practical guidance to families, many of whom are navigating complex challenges following their child’s diagnosis.
Our work is only possible because of the incredible support of our business community.
By partnering with DVLCC, your organisation can make a tangible difference to children and families while creating meaningful opportunities for your employees, strengthening your community impact and supporting your wider CSR and ESG goals.

Our partnership with you
We know that no two businesses are the same.
That’s why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all list of packages. Instead, we take the time to understand your organisation, your CSR and ESG priorities, your people and what you want to achieve through your partnership.
Whether you’re looking to increase employee engagement, strengthen your community impact, provide volunteering opportunities, support your ESG objectives or make a significant financial contribution, we can work together to create a partnership that delivers value for both organisations.
Looking to make a bigger impact?
2026 marks our 25th anniversary, and we’re celebrating by aiming to support 25 more children and their families.
For businesses looking to make a more significant commitment, our Platinum Partners programme offers the opportunity to become part of a special community of supporters helping us reach more children, develop our services and create brighter futures for families.
If your business would like to help us reach our 25 children goal and explore becoming a Platinum Partner, we’d love to hear from you.

Seeing the children and parents during sessions and learning about the positive impact DVLCC has on their lives showed how vital its services are to local families and children in need.

Corporate volunteering at DVLCC
This charity is a lifeline for many of the families who access its services… we are so pleased to be able to support the DVLCC team in growing and developing its services even further and help even more families who can benefit so much from its interventions.
The heart of our charity
All the consultants in the neonatal unit said repeatedly, ‘early intervention is key’ which is why we feel so strongly that all children like Jothi need access to support like we have with Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity.
Born by emergency c-section at 32 weeks, Jothi spent his first 24 hours on a ventilator and the first 93 days of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit. His personal growth since coming to DVLCC is remarkable.

I don’t think there’s another service that compares. We feel so lucky to be able to access it. You can tell that the staff really want to help and want Elsie to do well. It’s just so nice to have another cheerleader.
Born at 23 weeks and 5 days, Elsie’s prematurity meant that her development was considerably delayed. With so many unknowns, Elsie’s parents weren’t sure what her future would look like until they came to DVLCC.

Since Freddie has started at the charity I have been blown away by the friendliness and understanding of all the staff. I suddenly feel like our journey is not different and we are so included!
Freddie was diagnosed with Galloway-Mowat Syndrome, a rare life-limiting disorder. Since starting at DVLCC, Freddie has begun to learn new skills and is making great progress.
