Partnerships
AstraZeneca
Depaul UK and AstraZeneca are delighted to announce a new three-year partnership to improve health outcomes for homeless and disadvantaged young people. Many of the young people with whom we work suffer from poor mental and physical health. Working together, and with direct input from young people at Depaul, we will create a new and engaging healthcare intervention. The intervention may address a range of issues for example; how to register with a GP or dentist, identifying and tackling depression, healthy eating on a budget, obesity, and drugs and alcohol awareness. AstraZeneca – who in November 2010 launched their global AstraZeneca Young Health Programme - is donating more than £400,000 to Depaul, as well as extensive pro bono support, volunteering and UK-wide fundraising activities.
Rubik's Cube
The Rubik's Foundation has partnered with Depaul UK to create a bespoke Rubik's cube that represents the work that Depaul UK does to support young homeless people. The new cubes have been provided free of charge to Depaul UK to help us attract a new donor base and raise awareness of our work. This summer Depaul UK will be present at a number of festivals to try and recruit new donors, in exchange for a Rubik's Cube. Read More >>>>

TheSite.org
In partnership with Youth Net and 42nd Street, Depaul UK developed a website, www.thesite.org/selfharm to help young people and their families deal with self harm and the issues surrounding it. The site provides detailed information on the subject through podcasts, video, written articles, real-life stories and case studies; as well as specialist discussion boards and a Q & A service.
Get Connected
Depaul UK and Get Connected have been working together on a number of initiatives since 2009 to share resources, knowledge and services to have a greater impact on young people in need. For example; the partnership has produced double sided business cards to give to the thousands of young people that the two organisations reach each year, providing information on the services they both offer and how to reach either organisation if needed.
