Partnering with Local Businesses to Create Local Social Impact
At Upbeat Clean, the heart of our mission lies in providing exceptional cleaning while transforming lives and strengthening communities, but we couldn’t do it without our incredible business partners. These incredible companies are not only receiving high-quality cleaning services—they’re driving real, lasting change in Derby. Through their partnership with Upbeat Clean, they’ve become champions of social mobility, responsible employment, and community impact.
Businesses Leading the Charge for Social Good
By partnering with Upbeat Clean, local businesses are leading in social transformation. From museums and arts venues to large factories and office spaces, the organisations we work with are integrating social impact into the everyday areas of life like their cleaning contracts. They understand that their choice of cleaning provider goes beyond service—it’s a statement about their commitment to the local community and its a vote towards the city they want to live in.
For these businesses, supporting Upbeat Clean means contributing directly to life-changing opportunities for people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including refugees and survivors of modern-day slavery. Each job we provide offers more than just a paycheck—it offers financial stability, personal growth, and a stepping stone to a better future. Our partners’ decision to work with us plays a crucial role in enabling these transformations.
Aligning with ESG Goals and Making a Difference
In today’s business world, the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals is more prominent than ever. By choosing to partner with a social enterprise like Upbeat Clean, businesses can meet their ESG objectives in a meaningful way. Every cleaning contract becomes a way to invest in the community, promote social mobility, and support a cause that has far-reaching positive effects.
The impact isn’t just felt by the people we employ—it’s felt within the companies themselves. Their employees take pride in knowing they’re part of a company that chooses to make a difference. As one of our partners shared, “It’s inspiring to see how our decision to work with Upbeat Clean is helping refugees rebuild their lives. Our team feels proud to support a company that’s doing so much good in our city.”
High-Quality Service, Positive Outcomes
While the social impact is significant, businesses also benefit from the high-quality cleaning services we provide. Our dedicated and professional team, many of whom are motivated by the opportunities they’ve been given, deliver excellence every day. Our partners receive top-notch cleaning, while also contributing to a model where 100% of the profits go back into our parent charity, Upbeat Communities.
This creates a win-win situation: businesses receive great service while playing an active role in improving the local community and enhancing their own reputations as socially responsible organisations.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Our partners are not just customers—they are co-creators of a brighter future. Their support helps us provide real living wage jobs, pensions, sick pay, and flexible working hours to people who need them most. Together, we’re building a resilient, inclusive community where social mobility is a reality, not just a dream.
Through their ongoing partnership, businesses in Derby are making a lasting difference, inspiring others, and helping to raise the profile of social enterprises in the region. And as we prepare to scale our model across the UK, they are part of a movement that is growing nationally.
At Upbeat Clean, we believe that when businesses work together with social enterprises, the impact is extraordinary. We’re proud to have partners who lead by example and show that business success and social good can go hand-in-hand. If you’d like to join this inspiring journey, get in touch and be a part of the change that’s transforming lives in Derby. Together, we’re making a real, lasting difference.
