Corporate Sponsorship and Partnership Opportunities

Debating Matters is a hugely popular competition and is continually over-subscribed. The competition appeals to schools who traditionally don’t take part in debating competitions and have little tradition of extra-curricular debate within their institutions. We take pride in partnering with a wide variety of organisations, from corporates to charities, universities to schools and trusts, to bring the unique formula of Debating Matters to young people across the country and beyond. We are always looking to work with new organisations.
