AUTOGRAPH ABP
The charity: founded in 1988, Autograph ABP is a charity that works to educate the public in photography, with an emphasis on cultural identity and human rights, through exhibitions, publishing, education and the creation of a public archive of culturally diverse photography. It is based at Rivington Place, London, the home of culturally diverse contemporary art and photography in the UK, which opened in 2007. Designed by David Adjaye OBE, this prestigious award-winning building is the first new-build public gallery in London since 1968. Autograph is constantly expanding, and has recently worked on projects with The Hayward Gallery, The South Africa National Gallery, The Barbican, Harvard University and Syracuse University (both USA), DRIK (Bangladesh), Manchester Museum and Art Gallery, Amnesty International, MTV Europe Foundation and Magnum Photos, in partnership to reach yet larger audiences. The offer: Autograph's concerns give it a special place at the centre of the British art scene - the envy of the world - with its sophisticated, urbane and educated audience. Sponsorship would provide the sponsor with access to this demographic segment, and associate them with an arts organisation that is socially aware and has a proven track record. Autograph ABP's audience research has reported figures of well over 500,000. The results of a recent spot-questionnaire for an Autograph exhibition at Rivington Place showed 68% of the audience were in work and 27% were students. 100% of those questioned rated their experience of the exhibition as either Good or Excellent. Recent press coverage included a four-page feature in the Guardian, a preview on Radio 3 Night Waves, three pages in The Independent, a full page in both Metro and The Times, a double page spread in New Humanist and numerous features and reviews in the general and art press. "Your mandate and programming is highly impressive ... the breadth of the photos both aesthetically and from the point of view of content, the associated contexts of the work, and the way the show was mounted. Wonderful, memorable, subtle, and in many ways revolutionary! Congratulations!" - Doina Popescu, Ryerson Gallery and Research Centre, Toronto, 2009; "You guys rock! The best exhibitions in the country. Cutting edge and accessible. Keep doing what you are doing and more" - Kevin McCullough, Christian Aid, 2009. Contact: Indra Khanna, Curator.

The RCNi has officially announced that sponsorship of the 2018 RCNi Nurse Awards is now open. Heralded as the most prestigious awards in the industry, the RCNi Nurse Awards celebrate the very best of nursing care and will launch in December and culminate in a star-studded awards ceremony on July 4th, 2018. Last year saw over 700 nurses entered into the awards and over 400 healthcare professionals attend the awards ceremony. In 2018, these numbers are set to increase with the awards being bigger and better than ever, thanks to a new six figure consumer marketing and PR campaign that aims to reach over three million people in the UK. Rachel Armitage, Managing Director at RCNi, said: "With the responsibilities of nurses increasing year on year in the face of budget and resource cuts, now is the time to really celebrate and increase awareness of the unsung nurses who are making a real difference in patient care. These incredible awards wouldn't be possible without the help of our sponsors and, with more exposure on offer than ever before, we hope to have even more brands on board for 2018. This is a fantastic opportunity for the many brands that want to talk to the nursing demographic and support the work they do. Michael Henry, Healthcare Director at Superdrug, said: "Sponsoring the RCNi Community Nurse Awards gives us an ideal opportunity to engage and interact with nurses, raise the profile of the service we provide and become an employer of choice for nurses in the community in one of our Superdrug clinics". There are a variety of sponsorship packages on offer, from headline sponsorship through to category sponsorship, such as Child Health, Mental Health Nursing and Patient's Choice.

THE SUFFOLK BROKERAGE: SUFFOLK CARE AWARDS 2018
The Suffolk Care Awards 2018 recognise exemplary care practice. They highlight the important and crucial job that high-quality carers and innovative care providers do, day-in and day-out. The organisers are seeking sponsorship for the ten category awards, and also for the event evening, with packages ranging from £500 to £3,000. There are ten categories which recognise excellent care practice - they include innovative dementia care, end of life care, inspiring leaders and managers, food and drink, and a special recognition award for a carer or care company nominated by an individual. The winners' evening takes place in October. For an idea of how the evening works, click to view a video on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/192171937. "Since it was launched in 2016, the Suffolk Care Awards has grown to become an important event and key date in the calendar for the county's health and social care workforce. Those who have won say the awards make them feel valued for the work they are doing, looking after and caring for others. Those who get through to the Final receive recognition for their achievement. In an industry which often faces criticism and bad press, these awards are about recognising the - often unsung - heroes who are dedicated to their profession and are passionate about innovating and improving people's lives. We believe the awards lead by example and help encourage other care providers to improve and innovate. Each year the awards have brought to light amazing examples of caring and care practice. The winners' evening is a great opportunity for carers and care organisations to come together to network and share great examples of care practice. Winning the awards, and having their stories told in the media, helps shine a light on fantastic care provision in the county. The awards represent an opportunity for businesses and organisations with a connection to the care sector to build a brand association with this successful county-wide initiative. They are run by The Suffolk Brokerage, an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to raising care standards, and The Suffolk Association of Independent Care Providers, an organisation for independent or voluntary care providers".

TOP MODEL OF COLOUR
The organisers of Top Model of Colour are looking for companies that wish to sponsor/support this year's event by providing either cash sponsorship, prizes or services for the competition. Last year's show was by far the biggest and best competition to date, with over 3,500 candidates, heats around the country and a gala finale in London. This year is expected to be the biggest yet. A sponsor receives continuous publicity from all client groups, models, family members and businesses. As ever the show has attracted unprecedented press coverage, as can be seen by searching the web for 'mahogany models' or visiting http://www.mahoganymodels.co.uk/show-presspage.php to get a feel for how big the show is. The competition is open to male and female models of African, Caribbean, Asian, Oriental, Hispanic and bi- and multi-racial ethnicity. Sponsors have the option of either sponsoring with cash and receiving higher prominence on the media information distributed or sponsoring prizes in kind and being a secondary or associate sponsor/supporter. Detailed current opportunities are listed below. This is the premium talent contest for models of ethnic minority descent and fills an important gap in the talent search market for people of colour. Many of the finest models working in the country today got their first break through the competition and everyone who has taken part confirms that the experience was really useful in getting day-to-day modelling jobs. "We welcome any other ideas or suggestions that you may have and we can tailor a package specifically for you and we look forward to hearing from you. For updated information on our latest sponsorship packages and/or to receive a sponsorship pack or to become a sponsor of the next Top Model of Colour event, please contact us".
