CatZero invites businesses and supporters to join new partnership pathways driving change across the Humber

Cat Zero launches new Partnership Tiers with businesses

LEADING Humber-based charity CatZero has unveiled a new three-tier partnership structure and expanded supporter model, inviting businesses, funders and individuals to play a direct role in transforming lives across the region.

The charity, known for its pioneering use of a 72-foot Challenge yacht to deliver confidence-building programmes, has introduced a refreshed approach to corporate and community involvement under three key partnership tiers: Spinnaker Club, Mainsail Partner, and Helm Partner.

“CatZero has always believed in doing things differently and that includes how we work with partners,” said Adrian Tallon, CEO of CatZero. “These new tiers reflect the depth of commitment we see from supporters and give businesses a way to align with our values, our work, and the real difference we make across the Humber.”

The new structure recognises the scale and significance of support at every level:

• Spinnaker Club – Designed for organisations and individuals who want to support
momentum-building programmes and take their first step in partnership with
CatZero.

• Mainsail Partner – Sustaining programme delivery throughout the year, ensuring
more people can access lifechanging opportunities.

• Helm Partner – Strategic supporters who help guide the charity’s long-term
direction and impact, championing change at the highest level.

“Partnership is more than a transaction, it’s about shared purpose,” said Pete Tighe, CatZero’s Partnership & Development Manager. “Whether through a corporate  commitment or personal fundraising, we’re offering new and meaningful ways for people to join our mission.”

CatZero’s work spans employability, family support, and mental health across the Humber. Since 2009, it has supported thousands of people of all ages to overcome barriers and move into education, employment, or a more confident, stable future.

The new structure comes as the charity continues to expand its programmes and secure long-term sustainability through strong partnerships and innovative engagement.
