Corporate partners

Thinking about partnering with DKMS?

We would be delighted to support you with a bespoke corporate charity partnership that meets the specific needs of your business and Corporate Social Responsibility objectives. We can work with you to develop a range of fundraising activities and registration events that will motivate and engage your staff, promote team-building, and ensure that everyone has some fun in the process.

Thank you to all the companies who have selected us to be their Charity of the Year so far and joined us in the fight against blood cancer.

Current Corporate Partners

Jacobs

DKMS has been working with Jacobs, a global solutions consultancy, on our 'Challenge Accepted: Become a Donor, Change Lives' partnership campaign since September 2025.

Together, we have registered 260 Jacobs employees to the stem cell register. Already, one employee has been matched with a patient in need of a stem cell transplant and has gone on to donate their stem cells, giving someone a second chance at life!

The partnership continues this September, when a team of Jacobs employees will take on the Three Peaks Challenge, aiming to complete all three peaks within 24 hours while raising vital funds to support DKMS lifesaving work.

On the Beach

DKMS has been working with online travel company On the Beach since 2024. Since the partnership began, employees have supported our mission by hosting in-office registration events and taking part in a wide range of fundraising activities.

Fundraising activities have included bake sales, a cycle across the country, a 12-hour dart-a-thon and a football tournament. Building on this incredible support, 20 employees will take on the ultimate cycling challenge in Turkey during October 2026, raising vital funds to help DKMS continue its lifesaving work.

Jennie Cronin, Chief People Officer at On the Beach

"Hi, I'm Jennie Cronin, Chief People Officer at On the Beach. We chose DKMS as our charity of the year because it's personal to us, and we believe in the work that they do and much love. Our much-loved colleague, Andy Clague, sadly passed away in 2018 after a long battle with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma with no stem cell donor matches on the register to help him. We're committed to supporting DKMS in raising awareness of their work and growing the stem cell register to help more people find their match and give them a second chance at life. We have a number of fundraising events planned like the internal Great Beachin' Bake Off today and next year, we have an enormous bike ride in Majorca. It's great to see so many people in our team getting involved in what's a really, really important cause for us."

Tilbury Douglas

DKMS has been one of Tilbury Douglas's charity partners since 2024. Since the partnership began, 190 people have joined the stem cell register through Tilbury Douglas, while employees have raised more than £40,000 to support DKMS's lifesaving work.

Fundraising efforts have included golf days and boat races in Leeds and Manchester, demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to helping give more patients a second chance at life.

“The whole team at DKMS is an absolute joy to work with, nothing is too much trouble, from providing T-shirts or bunting and flyers for fundraising events. The joint donor drives that were delivered went very smoothly, and all the literature and relevant training were provided. The fact that staff from DKMS joined us for a charity boat race just shows their willingness to support and be part of the team!”

Microsoft

DKMS has been working with Microsoft's Blood & Beyond employee network since 2025, delivering a series of stem cell registration and fundraising events. Together, these efforts have helped add over 60 people to the stem cell donor register.

In addition to encouraging more people to register, a dedicated team of six employees took on the Tough Mudder challenge, raising several thousand pounds to support DKMS's lifesaving work. The team is already planning its next fundraising challenge for 2026.

Harkness Roses

We have partnered with Harkness Roses to launch the beautiful red floribunda 'Stems of Hope' rose. Every rose purchased will make a difference with £5 from each sale being donated to DKMS UK, helping to cover the cost of registering new people to the stem cell register and giving people with blood cancer and blood disorders a second chance at life.

Find out more about the partnership on our dedicated Harkness Roses webpage.

Chaos Cookie

DKMS has been working with Chaos Cookie, an independent UK-based game studio dedicated to creating engaging and mindful digital experiences, since 2023.

To mark World Blood Cancer Day in May 2026, we launched a special edition puzzle of Chaos Cookie's flagship game, Squarelets, named ‘The Adventures of Little Red Blood Cell. Alongside the puzzle, Chaos Cookie introduced an exclusive DKMS Charity Bundle featuring unique in-game hero skins. Priced at £2.99, 50% of net developer proceeds from every bundle sold was donated directly to DKMS, helping to support our lifesaving work.

Beatka Wójciak, Founder of Chaos Cookie

“I want to help people. By teaming up with DKMS we can have a tangible impact! We leverage our platform to make a positive impact both through gameplay and strategic brand partnerships. We are proud to be working with DKMS to raise awareness of blood cancer.”

We are incredibly grateful to Beatka and the team at Chaos Cookie for finding such a creative way to bring our mission to the gaming community. 'The Adventures of Little Red Blood Cell' was a fantastic way to raise awareness about blood cancer, and the generous donation commitment helped DKMS directly to register more life-saving stem cell donors.

MHA

MHA Birmingham chose DKMS as its office Charity of the Year for 2026 after several employees had seen the impact of blood cancer on their loved ones.

The partnership launched with a week of fundraising activities in May to mark World Blood Cancer Day, including a presentation delivered by one of our West Midlands Hub volunteers to raise awareness of stem cell donation and the work of DKMS.

Throughout the rest of the year, MHA Birmingham will continue to support DKMS through fundraising events, an office stem cell registration drive and ongoing awareness raising activities.
