About the partnership
DFYC is located in Bermondsey, a short walk from two projects ISG carried out on Upper Thames St, London. DFYC supports children and young adults from Bermondsey and
the neighbouring areas, helping them to grow confidence and fulfil their potential.
They do this through a structured programme of sporting, artistic and recreational activities.
ISG has engaged with DFYC in a number of ways over the years including fundraising, refurbishing the Fisher Boxing Gym and DFYC office space and holding a 'careers in construction' event for DFYC members highlighting the diverse range of careers in the construction industry.

Youth Club (DFYC) won the prestigious Lord Mayor’s

This 'Big Tick' was
reaccredited in 2013 for the continued partnership.
"The support provided by ISG to the Downside Fisher
Youth Club should be a model for businesses wishing to
help charities. There is total trust between the two
organisations and the support is not just a one off, it is
continuous and effective, it covers all areas and is a two
way relationship with the youth club always ready, willing
and able to help ISG." Chris Dick CBE, Vice President Downside
Fisher Youth Club.
