Hummingbird Project announces new sponsors

As part of its growth and continued service, the Hummingbird Project CIO has announced two new headline sponsors who are helping to further its mission.

The Hummingbird Project CIO is celebrating after being honoured with the prestigious King’s Award - a significant recognition of the charity’s ongoing work to support the community. Jo Gregory, Founder of The Hummingbird Project CIO says, “this accolade reflects the dedication of its volunteers, the generosity of its donors, and the continued encouragement from the people of Glossop and beyond.” 

The CIO is pleased to announce their new sponsors:

1) Headline Sponsor: Ryder & Dutton – Glossop Branch. The long-standing estate agency has deep roots in the local area and is committed to supporting families in finding their perfect homes. Now, through this sponsorship, Ryder & Dutton is extending its community support even further. 

2) Headline Sponsor: Glossop Pick N Mix. This business is known for its colourful selection of sweets and for bringing smiles to local faces. Their support for the Hummingbird Project CIO is a sweet reminder of the power of community spirit. 

The organisation is continuing to seek additional headline sponsors and welcomes interest from local businesses or individuals wanting to make a positive impact. 

The Hummingbird Project CIO has also launched a Department Sponsorship Scheme, inviting individuals and organisations to sponsor specific areas of the shop. 

The first Department Sponsor is a group of local councillors who have pooled their resources to sponsor the School Uniform Department. This support ensures the department can continue providing quality school uniforms completely free of charge, helping families ease financial pressures and reducing waste by keeping usable items out of landfill. 

The councillors supporting this initiative are: Cllr Ollie Cross, Cllr Gill Cross, Cllr Damien Greenhalgh, Cllr Barbara Hastings-Asatourian, Cllr Rob Baker, Cllr Pauline Bell, Cllr Anthony McKeown and current Mayor of High Peak Cllr Dom Elliott-Starkey. 

The School Uniform Department is now officially open, and, in line with the rest of the shop, all items are available free to those who need them. 

The Hummingbird Project CIO remains committed to its mission of bringing people together, reducing waste, and making life easier for local residents. From school uniforms to household goods, the charity continues to show how community-powered change can transform lives. 

Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor or supporting the organisation’s work is encouraged to get in touch. The Project is open Mon, Weds, Fri and Sat 10am-2pm.
