Derby County Community Trust

Over the past decade, DNS has built a strong and lasting partnership with Derby County Community Trust, supporting the charity with a fully managed print fleet and print management. As the official charity of Derby County Football Club, the Trust plays a vital role in improving lives across Derbyshire through community programmes, education initiatives, health and wellbeing support and events that bring people together.

From the outset, the relationship between DNS and the Trust has been built on more than simply supplying technology. As a Bronze Partner of the Trust, DNS has remained committed to supporting the wider work carried out within the community, regularly engaging with fundraising events, networking opportunities and awareness campaigns throughout the year. Our team has proudly supported initiatives such as the Reverse Advent Calendar Appeal in partnership with the Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance, helping provide essential items to local families and individuals during festive periods. We have also continued to support the Trust’s events and programmes, including the Derby 10K, Derby’s biggest annual running event and one of the Trust’s most important fundraising occasions.

Throughout the partnership, DNS has provided a managed print solution that allows the Trust to focus on the important work they do every day, while making sure their print setup stays reliable, secure and cost-effective. Over the years, we’ve built a strong working relationship with the team through dedicated account management, regular communication and ongoing support from our in-house help desk. By proactively managing devices, supplies and servicing, we’ve helped take away the day-to-day hassle of print management, giving the Trust confidence that everything is running smoothly behind the scenes.

This shared commitment to supporting local people is what continues to make our partnership successful. DNS actively attends Trust networking events, engages with community initiatives and looks for opportunities to contribute beyond the services we provide. By combining long term technical support with meaningful community involvement, the partnership has grown into one built on trust, collaboration and a mutual ambition to make a positive difference across Derby.
