Ready for Reech & Reward?
Reech & Reward 2025 is live!
Are you a Shropshire-based charity, non-profit, or social enterprise? Are you looking for some free, no-strings-attached marketing support? Look no further! Our dedicated Reech & Reward initiative is open to all local good causes, and provides opportunity to secure £10,000 worth of free marketing services from our team of specialists.
What is Reech & Reward?
Established in 2022, Reech & Reward is our annual ‘Charity of the Year’ initiative. Born out of a desire to support Shropshire-based organisations that align with our own values, we’re proud to partner with a local cause annually to elevate their message and add real value to their mission. To date, we’ve pledged £75,000 of support to achieve this.
Applications open on 7th April – we welcome applications from all Shropshire-based charities and non-profits, to be in with a chance to secure a 12-month pro bono partnership with Reech.
Having access to our entire team – from web developers and digital specialists to growth strategists and creative professionals – allows organisations to benefit from a tailored 360-approach to meet desired marketing needs and overcome any current challenges.
What is the Process?
Applications open on 7th April.
Tell us a little about yourselves, your current marketing objectives, and any challenges you’re having.
Entries close 16th May.
Our team will review each and every entry, understanding how we might be able to use our specialisms to take your organisation to the next level.
Shortlist revealed (early June).
Four causes will be invited to attend our HQ at Shrewsbury Business Park to ‘pitch’ their charity, their needs, and the levels of support required.
Decisions made (late June).
One charity will be named our 2025 Reech & Reward organisation of the year.
Understanding the extensive breadth of well-deserving causes in our region (and the challenges faced by lack of funding and overstretched resources), we also pledge to price match for the three runners-up. If they commit to £5k of marketing support in 2025, we’ll gift a further £5k on us! And we strive to build long-term relationships, offer advice and guidance, and become ongoing advocates for all applicants.
Why is Reech & Reward Important to Us?
As with many other agencies, we’re often contacted by charities seeking support and will always try to help (where possible) with ad hoc projects. But this often means we’re only able to offer assistance with one aspect of the bigger picture. Instead, we want to make a real difference, providing holistic support and strategic guidance for sustainable success. So, we decided to do things differently.
It’s a genuine pleasure to uncover some of the unsung heroes within our colourful community, and to learn more about their mission. We truly become their biggest cheerleaders, and it provides us an opportunity to use our collective skill sets to make an impact right here in Shropshire – something that’s incredibly important to us all.
Who has Reech & Reward Supported to Date?
2022: Shrewsbury Food Hub – our partnership consisted of a brand concept revision, the design and development of a bespoke WordPress website, and supporting with ‘Taste Not Waste’ campaign to motivate 1,000 families in Shrewsbury to reduce their food waste.
2023: Brightstar Boxing – we assisted with a complete rebrand and its rollout, and with compiling an awareness video campaign.
2024: Dog A.I.D. – most recently, we’ve conducted a comprehensive rebrand (rename, positioning, and messaging), a brand video and photography, social strategy, and website review and recommendations.
2025: Could it be you?
“We really wanted to relaunch Brightstar as a brand, as an entity, and as a vehicle for change. The Reech & Reward process was very simple. It was quite easy to get involved with, and it was all around that conversation and building that partnership. The impact of this initiative has introduced us to new non-sport partners and audiences, which has highlighted the work we can do to help change so many more lives.
“The team at Reech has been brilliant. It’s always felt like an organisation that we can just call up and contact – occasionally I’ll WhatsApp the guys when I’ve had different ideas, and nothing’s ever felt like too much. You’re not just getting this amount of funding, it’s being part of the journey.”
Joe Lockley, Founding Director at Brightstar Boxing
