Statom Group
UK leading Construction Company support Foundation with funding to help power the potential of young people across the UK and Ireland.
About the partnership
Selected as the lead charity for the Statom Group's Legends Charity Ball in late 2023, the incredible event saw a stunning £170,430 raised to help the Foundation continue to reach and power the potential of more young people.
The illustrious event saw Rio Ferdinand take to the stage, holding a brilliant Q&A and discussing the work of the Foundation and its impact on young people while the wider team spoke to guests, forging new relationships, pathways and networks to open up new opportunities for young people.
Fast forward to November 2024 and a star-studded ball, adorned with celebrities, raised a staggering £227,500 to drive social mobility and create employability opportunities for young people.
While Rio Ferdinand, James Cordon, DJ Spoony, and Sister Sleigh entertained, it was the collective generosity that filled the air and took centre stage.
The Statom Celebrity Ball is an event dedicated to community impact and a true champion of corporate social responsibility. This annual event represents a partnership mutually committed to community enrichment, building networks, and creating pathways for young people.
“We were blown away by the support from Statom Group. This unbelievable amount is a significant enabler of our work across the UK and Ireland, helping the Foundation deliver more projects in the most underrepresented communities.
We are fortunate to have an international network of partners like Statom Group, who not only share our mission to tackle generational inequalities and increase social mobility but also empower young people to recognise their skills and give them the ownership to achieve their goals.”
“Statom’s support has exceeded our expectations; it’s made an unsurmountable difference and we are truly thankful for that.”- Gary Stannett, CEO, Rio Ferdinand Foundation
