Business partnerships

We are proud to support Shekinah and to play a small part in the incredible work they do across Plymouth. With our local office based in the city, it means a great deal to us to be able to contribute to an organisation that provides vital support to people experiencing homelessness in our community.

Over the past few years, we’ve watched Shekinah go from strength to strength, growing their services, expanding their reach, and helping more people rebuild their lives. Seeing the positive impact they make every day has been truly inspiring, and being involved in their journey has been deeply rewarding. We look forward to continuing our support as they pursue their mission to tackle homelessness and create lasting change throughout Plymouth.

The challenges of inequality, social exclusion and depravation are real issues and often systemic within society and they also, all too often, impact those most vulnerable.  As director of Kennall Consulting Ltd I feel privileged to be able to support the great work of Shekinah in all they do to aid and assist some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in our communities.

We support Shekinah for a number of reasons. Firstly, they are a local organisation and the support they provide is invaluable to the Plymouth community. Secondly, they are not just a homeless charity- they are an organisation that genuinely cares and is committed to helping people of all ages move off the streets and into work. They offer a hand up, not a hand out. The work they do is truly amazing and goes far beyond homelessness.

“At Plymouth Citybus, we are proud to be a business partner of Shekinah, an organisation that exemplifies compassion, dedication, and community spirit. Shekinah’s unwavering commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals and families in our community aligns perfectly with our own values of care, respect, and inclusivity.

Their innovative programs and personalised approach have made a tangible difference in the lives of so many people, helping them to rebuild their futures and reintegrate into society. We appreciate the collaborative spirit that Shekinah fosters, creating meaningful partnerships that extend beyond traditional business relationships.

I hope together, we can continue to create lasting change, we are honoured to support Shekinah in their mission. As a supporter and advocate, we have seen first hand the positive impact they have on our community, and we look forward to continuing this vital work together.”

“At Made with Maturity we love to be involved in community and give back wherever possible.  As part of our business we organise and run the Cream Tea Club, a business networking group that meets regularly to build relationships over a cream tea!  A donation from the proceeds raised from our events each year goes to a local charity and since 2018 we have been delighted to support Shekinah.  Shekinah’s work in Plymouth and the surrounding areas is hugely important.  It brings hope to people with no hope, who are in desperate situations and just need that encouragement or helping hand to make a change in their lives.  Our contribution may only make a small dent in what ideally is needed, but we are delighted to be alongside the team and continue to look for opportunities to extend our support where possible.”

“The Building Plymouth partnership representing local construction and built environment employers are very proud to support Shekinah. We value the investment in creating construction skills, and more importantly, building up local people through supporting some of the most and disadvantaged people in our community. The charity’s holistic approach to skills and employability through the reconstruct programme is an exemplary model and we are delighted to be working in partnership.”

We have been supporting Shekinah in our Armada Way shop for the last 3 years by participating in their voucher scheme.  Our customers can buy a voucher to give to the homeless in the city so that they can access food and something to drink.

We have loved working alongside Shekinah and would always support them where possible.
