Our next Charity Partner

Together OS and our Charity Partner can connect people and place.

We’re here to help people explore and shape the world around them, and we’re looking for a Charity Partner that shares our purpose

We’re the national mapping service for Great Britain, and our location intelligence helps people explore and shape the world.

Our next charity partnership will focus on education and digital inclusion, with a charity supporting one or more of the following:

  • access for underserved communities
  • early careers, universities, and academics
  • STEM education
  • the use and/or development of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

We’re looking for a charity that empowers those who need it most, covering the whole of the UK.

"We believe a charity partnership would be a great vehicle for addressing digital exclusion. We're open to hearing from any charity that has had experience in supporting their communities in digital inclusion within education."

Hazel Hendley, Chief People Officer, OS

Applications are now in review

The chosen charity will be announced Spring 2026.
