Digital internships
As an innovative group of companies, we want to equip young people with the necessary skills to develop the future of tech. That’s why we run an annual digital internship for a small group of young people who are passionate about working in the digital sector. We give them hands-on work experience during the summer so they can gain an insight into how software development operates within our organisation.
Foundation ‘92
Set up by Manchester United legends Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary Neville, Foundation ’92 is part of Salford City FC. Its ambition is to help communities in Greater Manchester lead more active, healthier and happier lives by tackling pressing issues such as disability, mental health and homelessness.
Sussex Cricket
We sponsor the County Ground in Hove where Sussex Cricket play their home matches. This partnership has greatly increased the number of people who now recognise the 1st Central brand, which has helped to build a relationship within the local communities of which we’re proud to be a part. Our employees also enjoy some partnership benefits like tickets to matches, meeting some of the players, and taking part in charity events at the ground.
