Become a MemberWe have some the worlds finest companies one our doorstep. We are looking for a small number of large corporates willing to put their shoulder to the wheel, support a more strategic range of outreach actions and spread our LAB mission across the world.
Become an AmbassadorThe LAB Fund (meaning Leadership, Ambition & Belief) is a philanthropic crowd-fund which kickstarts the best new initiatives emerging from Derry, including projects, events, businesses, startups and social enterprises. To enable this, LAB asks local people and local businesses to contribute to the fund on on a regular basis – until December 2024.
Our primary ask is for the symbolic (but nominal) amount of £20.24 per month. Whilst not a huge amount, if 250 were contributing, it would be £5,000. And if were 500… it would be £10k! A lot of us, giving a little, can make a huge difference.
LAB is a project by Your Derry Community Interest Company, a platform of almost 15k members across the City, region and connecting diaspora across the world. The fund is solely focused on building, developing and celebrating the best of Leadership, Ambition and Belief across both ‘People and Place’. LAB is about the City taking control of its own destiny, grasping positive change and driving projects, businesses and communities who want to improve and grow.
LAB is asking local businesses to sign up to the LAB Charter as commitment to helping the City thrive, grow and succeed. Members are asked to sign up to a monthly subscription of just £20.24 per month and commit to the values of the LAB Charter Fund. Sign up to our Charter HERE. Individuals are also welcome to sign up and proudly display their LAB Charter. Larger Corporates or Individuals who wish to become Corporate Ambassadors are asked to get in touch HERE.
