As part of our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact in our community, we're delighted to announce that Pedestrian, a Leicester-based charity doing incredible work, has been chosen as Gambit Partners’ 'Charity of the Year'.

Our Founder, Ajay Mistry, couldn’t be more thrilled about this partnership. He said:

"Supporting Pedestrian, an organisation that's made such a difference in our community over the past 25 years, is genuinely inspiring. We're excited to lend a hand in helping them expand their reach and help more people in need."

Who are Pedestrian?

Since 1998, Pedestrian have been providing high-quality creative activities, music and arts education, and outreach projects for young people in adverse and challenging circumstances, vulnerable adults and communities across Leicester, Leicestershire and the Midlands.

2023 marks a big year for Pedestrian as it’s their 25th anniversary, which makes this partnership even more special. Over the past quarter-century, Pedestrian have impacted the lives of countless individuals through their dedication to providing creative opportunities and education to those who need it most.

How will we support Pedestrian?

Our team at Gambit Partners will be lending our expertise in digital marketing, social media, and business consultancy to Pedestrian. We aim to help them bolster their reach and impact in our community. And, not to forget, we'll also be participating in various fun-filled fundraising activities throughout the year to provide them with some extra financial support.

Echoing Ajay's sentiments, Paul Snape, the CEO of Pedestrian, is equally enthusiastic about the partnership, saying:

“As a small organisation with limited resources, having companies like Gambit Partners want to support us is great news.

“We are very excited to be working with the Gambit team as their charity of the year, and look forward to developing what we hope will be a long term partnership. Without support from organisations like Gambit Partners, Pedestrian wouldn’t be able to continue the great work we do in our quest to see every child and young person recognise their pioneering potential, namely through participating in arts and creative activity”.

Charity and community engagement have always been at the heart of what we do here at Gambit Partners. Our team is excited to participate in numerous fundraising initiatives to support Pedestrian throughout the year. We're looking forward to helping Pedestrian improve its digital presence, expand its reach, and amplify its message to a broader audience.
