SLA Partnership Limited is proud to confirm their official and on-going sponsorship deal with two of Kent’s leading charities; Medway Youth Trust and Kent Foundation.
SLA recruitment specialists, comprising of SLA Recruitment Consultants Ltd, SLA Digital Forensics Ltd and SLA Search & Selection Ltd understand how difficult forming a career or building a successful business can be for someone who isn’t quite sure where to start. MYT and KF are there to help individuals with these first few steps and SLA feels that with their commercial experience this is an ideal collaboration.
As well as donating £6000.00 per annum to help support these two incredible charities, SLA will provide support and advice to young talent through mentoring sessions and workshops.
Medway Youth Trust’s Chief Executive, Graham Clewes, said:
“SLA’s support through their money, time and expertise is a tremendous boost for Medway Youth Trust and for our careers and employability work with young people in Kent and Medway. I am particularly struck by Sarah Landry’s and SLA’s desire for a long term partnership to help us in our work and I hope their lead will be an encouragement to other companies”. – http://www.medwayyouthtrust.org/slasupport.html
Also welcoming the deal, Paul Barron, Director of Kent Foundation for Young Entrepreneurs:
“This is a significant commitment by SLA to support our work and we are grateful to them for their commitment and generosity.  As well as the money, their expertise in the job market will be invaluable in transforming ideas and initiatives into reality for those people that we engage with. Like all charities, we have to work really hard to find financial backing and I am delighted that they have chosen to back us at this challenging time.”- http://www.medwayyouthtrust.org/slasupport.html
Sarah Landry, Managing Partner of SLA Partnership Ltd commented:
“We pride ourselves on taking a thoroughly professional approach to our business, using our industry expertise and experience to provide candidates and clients alike with a service that is efficient and user-friendly. This is an ideal fit with the work of these two charities who, like us, look to encourage ways of achieving aspirations and ambitions. We focus on providing a quality of service to find a perfect match and I believe we have now achieved this with our sponsorship deal for Medway Youth Trust and Kent Foundation.”
Keep your eyes posted – SLA is also funding a sponsored golf event for these charities in Spring 2014. Details of this event are yet to be disclosed and we will be in contact regarding team participation.
Medway Youth Trust
Medway Youth Trust was first established April 2008. Since then, they have been presented with two national awards for the quality of their work.

“Chief Executive of Medway Youth Trust, Graham Clewes, said “anyone who thinks that young people do not care about people or the world in which they live would change their mind after just five minutes at one of our Youth Forum meetings. The young people have a wide range of experiences and backgrounds and are all at different stages of learning, work and getting their lives on track, yet they are united in wanting to make a difference to Medway Youth Trust and to all young people in Medway.”
