ARCHERY ASSAULT LTD
At present, Archery Assault is based at the Marine Academy Plymouth, which is offering facilities for a single event each week. "In order for Archery Assault to achieve its potential, we would need to be capable of holding several events a week at two to three venues simultaneously. Projected demand would suggest this would be the optimal foundation for stable growth. In order to deliver the service in multiple locations, we need a reliable vehicle to transport the equipment to these sites. A second-hand panel van would meet our needs and we anticipate a suitable vehicle could be found for c.£4,000 and insurance cost is estimated at £3,000. In addition, single venue hire costs £75.00 to £90.00 per event. Holding nine events each week would incur venue hire costs of £750.00 per week or £9,750.00 per quarter. A fund of £10,000.00 would therefore enable us to cater for multi-location events. However, as the events should be self-funding, we are not seeking funds for this purpose. Finally, we would be seeking finance of a further £5,000.00 to enable the purchase of additional equipment such as bows, arrows, face masks and targets, so as to meet the demand. To date, this equipment has been purchased via an Australian supplier, with items being delivered from USA, Germany and China. We are researching alternative supply arrangements - see Objectives, below. Total finance required would be £26,000.00, to get the business into a position where market penetration becomes a reality and real returns are possible. A grant of any size would help greatly but the exit routes we would propose to investors are: 1. After twelve months the business will commence repaying the loans and will complete this within a further twelve months. The total to be repaid will be the initial investment plus a margin to be negotiated; or 2. Investors will be offered shares in the company, reflecting their investment value. The company would then have the right to buy back those shares at a future date following a valuation of the company by an independent auditor". Various attractive sponsorship packages are also available, as listed below. Contact: Stephen Whitfield. Address: 6 Keppel Place, Stoke, Plymouth PL2 1AX. Tel.: 07739517327. E-mail:

OB/004 GETTING OUT OF REDUNDANCY: DOCUMENTARY
Would you be interested in sponsoring a documentary about getting out of redundancy? The documentary will combine interviews, round-table conversations, specialist opinions and the journey of three candidates - and how they successfully got out of redundancy. It will follow Carolina Rodriguez and the candidates through their differing emotional and physical journeys. The goal of the documentary is to raise awareness regarding the need for the UK to build a world class programme for people that have been made redundant or are out of work. The continued importance of redundancy awareness and the incredible opportunities that come after it will be explored visually, as well as through the words of the candidates, who will go through a coaching programme with Carolina Rodriguez during the changing process. The programme makers will educate the audience about the importance of positive thinking and the need for a defined plan. The audience will gain an understanding of the possibilities and importance of embracing change in a positive way, whilst also seeing the power of newly acquired skills taught by Carolina Rodriguez. The producers are hoping that a sponsor will be interested in sponsoring this documentary. They see a synergy and connection that would be of benefit to a sponsor, by raising the profile of the sponsor's company to the community and to the sponsor's target market. They are requesting £4,000.00 in sponsorship and in return the sponsor will receive     participation in the documentary, with the sponsor's company/organisation having the opportunity to be part of the programme (round table conversations and specialist opinions)     an association as key players for the future of the UK workforce     company logo on all printed materials     company logo and link from the programme makers' website to the sponsor's website     acknowledgement of the sponsorship in all media materials (news releases, media advisories, etc.).

Branding for the lead Corporate Sponsor will reach every kind of workplace throughout the UK: the professions; commerce; banking; industry; trades; academia; sport; leisure; the armed forces and many more. Five groups in particular benefit from Growing Ambitions.      Business: Growing Ambitions is a useful, zero-cost staff development tool; it is also a valuable addition to any CSR programme and generates positive PR. Growing Ambitions allows employers to help raise local skills levels in the medium and longer term, so expanding their recruiting pool.     Working people: this is a great tool for those in careers that they enjoy to 'put something back' into their local communities; Growing Ambitions is equally attractive both to first-time and seasoned volunteers.    Subject leaders and careers education teachers and advisers: they have ready and easy access to enthusiastic local speakers at a click of the mouse.    Young people: they benefit from the inspiration that 'hearing it from the horse's mouth' brings - inspire ambition and you get application and better discipline.     Government: national objectives are furthered by encouraging more young people into university and vocational training. Apart from the lead Corporate Sponsor opportunity, Growing Ambitions invites other organisations to use the service for their own CSR programmes, and to consider funding the extensive PR and e-marketing campaigns, and so benefit from brand exposure. Campaigns across all media encourage speakers from over 500 career types, in every town in the UK, to volunteer just four half-hour speaking slots a year. With PR campaigns planned to target every workplace in the country, Growing Ambitions is highly attractive to any organisation wishing to raise its profile to UK business and the wider community, and to be seen to be helping to develop the potential of our young people.

Sponsorship packages

1. Lead Sponsor's funding will help to underpin the service's admin., site management and PR programme. The sponsor will benefit from prominent branding both throughout the site and on all PR materials.

2. Career-Specific Sponsors benefit from targeted, bespoke, career-related PR campaigns for their particular sector; for example, an engineering/science based company sponsoring a PR/publicity campaign to promote the study of physics or engineering at 'A' level or degree level. Many sectors need an effective means of encouraging entry into their sector and, in this, Growing Ambitions has a valuable role to play. This sponsorship is part in-kind and part financial.

OB/008 LONDON SOCIETY OF CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
There are opportunities to develop an association with the London Society of Chartered Accountants and its membership through a partnership involving its top-tier and lower profile annual events, as listed below. By partnering any one or more of these events, the Partner will gain access to a number of benefits; for example, exclusive access to the database of the LSCA, coverage in the London Accountant, which claims a circulation of 36,000 per issue and post-event access to all attendees after each event. Access to the LSCA database, website and magazine have never been offered in tandem with the individual event benefits, thus giving the programme huge potential as a tool for generating new business leads and raising awareness within the finance industry of London, say the organisation.

Please get in touch and be part of the growth. Benefit by association and help to shape the future of the 'Silicon Roundabout' and investment in start-up businesses.
