Connectus Business Solutions launches 10/10 Club

Community, collaboration, contribution…

Connectus Business Solutions launches “10/10 Club” to support not-for-profit partners in 2026 and beyond.

Connectus Business Solutions has today announced the launch of its new 10/10 Club, a long-term initiative designed to embed social impact at the heart of the company’s regional growth strategy.

The programme will see the technology and business services provider partner with up to 10 not-for-profit organisations at any one time, sharing skills, visibility and financial contributions to support causes it admires and believes in across the UK.

Through the 10/10 Club, Connectus will combine hands-on digital expertise, access to its national business network and PR and awareness support, alongside financial contributions linked to club-related work. While the club will be limited to 10 partners at any given time, new organisations will be actively considered on an ongoing basis, with the make-up of the club evolving as collaborations mature.

Seven organisations have already been confirmed as founding members of the 10/10 Club:

• Doncaster Knights Foundation
• Chester RFU Foundation
• 3 Bears for Pancreatic Cancer Research
• Embassy Village for the Homeless
• 12 Foundation
• Youth Fed
• Forward Trust

The remaining three partner organisations will be announced in due course.

Roy Shelton, Founder of Connectus Business Solutions, said the initiative reflects a long-term commitment rather than a short-term CSR exercise.

“The 10/10 Club is an important part of our plans for 2026 and beyond. We work with incredible organisations across our regions, and this is about building genuine, mutual partnerships, not just writing a cheque. By combining financial support with skills, visibility and collaboration, we believe we can create measurable impact while staying true to who we are as a business.”

The 10/10 Club is built around a hybrid model that blends practical outcomes with brand alignment and transparency. Core components include one- to two-year strategic charity partnerships aligned to themes such as digital inclusion, youth development and community wellbeing, alongside co-branded awareness campaigns spanning LinkedIn, webinars, case studies and “Tech for Good” thought leadership.

The programme will also provide structured employee volunteering, with Connectus staff donating time each quarter to strengthen partners’ digital resilience.

Each partner organisation will receive a Connectus Business Solutions 10/10 Club digital badge, inclusion on a dedicated web page with reciprocal links, and access to PR opportunities supported by Connectus. Progress will be reviewed through quarterly partnership meetings and reported annually via a Tech for Good Report, detailing funds raised, hours volunteered and digital outcomes delivered.

The programme will culminate each year in a 10/10 Club Annual Dinner, bringing together partner organisations, supporters and prospective customers to share learning and raise additional funds through raffles and auctions.Connectus Business Solutions operates from offices in Manchester and Yorkshire, supporting organisations nationwide with connectivity, cloud, security and digital transformation services. Mr Shelton, who is based in Chester, is also Secretary of the Chester Business Club. In 2026, Connectus is one of the main sponsors of the Chester Business Club’s Young Person Business Awards.

“We’re always open to conversations with organisations doing work we admire,” Mr Shelton added. “If there’s alignment, we want to explore it. This club is about community, contribution and collaboration, and we’re genuinely excited about the opportunities it can deliver, for our partners and for our wider community.”
