Manchester City Makes ‘dreams Come True’ With Nissan Partnership

Manchester City’s charity, City in the Community, has announced Nissan as its first official equality, diversity, and inclusion partner.

The new agreement is an expansion of Nissan’s backing of the club and charity after an initial partnership began in 2021.

Nissan, that is currently Manchester City’s official automotive partner, will ‘aid all of City in the Community’s projects supporting disability and LGBTQ+’ across the next two years.

To celebrate the launch of the expanded partnership, Manchester City and England winger Jack Grealish surprised City fan Lucas with pair playing enjoying a game of EA FC.

Jack Grealish, commented, “It was a pleasure to play EA FC with Lucas, even if he did nearly beat me! It has been lovely to meet Lucas. He is a true inspiration.

“It is great to hear that he has continued to come to City in the Community sessions for over 10 years and be provided with an environment where he can play football.”

Sam Dainty, Head of Partnerships and Fundraising at City in the Community, said, “We’re delighted to announce that Nissan is expanding its previous support, as they become our official equality, diversity and inclusion partner.

“Inclusion is embedded into City in the Community, and we are passionate about breaking down barriers to participation so people in Greater Manchester can achieve their full potential. Not only does Nissan align with our values but also allows us to further expand our work.

“This relationship has been incredibly successful so far and we look forward to sustaining, and developing exciting opportunities for, our disability and LGBTQ+ work throughout this new agreement.”

Andrew Humberstone, Managing Director at Nissan GB, said, “We’re very proud to become the official equality diversity and inclusion partner for Manchester City’s charity, City in the Community. It’s a wonderful organisation that reflects Nissan’s core values, and this new partnership builds on many successful collaborations since 2021. I look forward to seeing City in the Community continue its great work throughout 2024 and beyond.”
