ACT AGAINST BULLYING: CYBERKIND CAMPAIGN
CyberKind is a campaign by Act Against Bullying, the high profile UK charity helping parents and children deal with school bullying. With the increase in young people using social networking sites on a daily basis and as their major source of communication, the aim of this new initiative is to counteract and reverse the growing trend of cyber bullying - on the increase and now responsible for many teen suicides - by making a conscious effort to reward 'niceness on the net'. It is motivated by the charity's belief that the active promotion of good internet manners may significantly reduce the misery that is suffered by so many children, sometimes over meaningless comments and thoughtless behaviour. It may even save lives. They are looking for a major sponsor for the campaign to invest around £10,000. This would buy the company their logo on the charity's website, and on all printed and e-mailed public relations material connected with this particular campaign, which they expect to get extensive media coverage. In addition, the sponsor's logo will be included in the campaign posters which have been designed by book illustrator Katy Dynes and they would receive verbal acknowledgement and tickets to the launch party, which is to be held at the House of Lords on November 11th, as well as public relations opportunities at a public event to be held in central London on the charity's Cool to be Kind Day on November 18th, and any other 'spin offs', such as panel debate involvement, etc. on this subject. Act Against Bullying Founder Director Louise Burfitt-Dons is a well known figure in the humanitarian campaigning field and regularly appears on national TV and radio programmes. As a motivational speaker, the ethos of the organisation she founded is a combination of the inspirational and practical and there is a wealth of information and advice for young people as well as parents and social workers on the website at www.actagainstbullying.org (link below). She writes extensively for the media on bullying issues, has led the field in identifying modern issues such as ECD and tribalism and has been a speaker at national conferences and seminars. Act Against Bullying was shortlisted for the Guardian Charity Award 2008. Act Against Bullying is a 'celebrity favourite' and has held many prestigious and star-studded events. For example, currently popular Britain's Got Talent finalists Strike are raising the profile of AAB as they are touring schools. The charity is active on YouTube and Twitter and has a growing following of fans worldwide who enjoy the honest apolitical approach to this complex social problem, as well as their catchy campaigns such as Cool to be Kind Day. They are also the UK representative of the World Kindness Movement. Contact: Louise Burfitt-Dons, Director. Address: 68 Duke Road, London W4 2DE. Tel.: 0845 230 2560. Fax: 0208 995 9500.

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:

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 figures are typically 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.

EO/PL007 BRITISH STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL
British Student Film Festival is looking for partnership and patronage support. The festival has a tiered sponsorship programme, ranging from Festival Sponsor to Awards Sponsor. All sponsors receive prominent logo placement on promotional print and web materials. Similarly, opportunities for further exposure can be accommodated during the festival, including the screening of adverts at subsidised rates and the distribution of promotional materials. British Student Film Festival is a national exhibition of student work in Newcastle, Liverpool, Bristol and London. The festival holds an uncompromising stance: that every film is screened and the entry requirements must be affordable. The festival will then culminate in an awards ceremony to celebrate the students' work and the winning films are announced. "We hope to not only help those filmmakers with a desire to enter the industry as a career but also to demonstrate the creativity and vision in each student. As an inclusive festival we aim to undermine any false standards to which their creativity has previously been held - we will not grade their vision. Awards will be provided for films which are exemplary in their execution, but the festival and our board of patrons defend the creative vision of each student filmmaker as unique and unquantifiable". Full sponsorship details and benefits are available on request. Contact: Francesca Creed. Address: 46 Keyes Road, London NW2 3XA. E-mail:

EPILEPSY FOOTPRINT
Epilepsy Footprint is a non-profit organisation which aims to educate people everywhere about epilepsy. All its surplus funds are used in developing countries to improve people's access to support services and medical treatments for epilepsy. Too many people in these countries are dying from treatable seizures due to poverty, lack of access to medical services for epilepsy and general attitudes towards the condition. Ignorance towards epilepsy also means many people in the developing world are too scared to be diagnosed with the condition because it could potentially result in them losing their work, family or education. So by going out and speaking to people about epilepsy, Epilepsy Footprint's aim is to help people's understanding and attitudes towards the condition and remove the stigma which is holding so many people back from leading a normal life with epilepsy. The funding received from these presentations will be used in developing countries to     improve medical facilities and supplies     improve accessibility to medical and support services     provide education and skills training to people with epilepsy     improve the general understanding of epilepsy through school presentations. Epilepsy Footprint's Mission: the vision of Epilepsy Footprint is to keep improving people's understanding and handling of epilepsy in everyday life both in the UK and abroad. In many developing countries there is a negative attitude associating epilepsy with the devil and disease resulting in many people being disowned by their families, schools and employers. So going out and talking to people about the various aspects of epilepsy has been shown to bring people together rather than allowing them to remain isolated - and to improve people's confidence everywhere in handling seizures when witnessed. All this is achieved by providing training and information to those who wish to understand and learn more about epilepsy. This objective is achieved by giving various presentations regarding epilepsy in everyday life via    schools    businesses    community groups    hospitals    families    media    national and international conferences.

GREENPARK IMAGES
Greenpark Images has a unique film archive of UK social history going back to the 1950s. Since there is a growing national concern about the need for teenagers to appreciate the importance of Respect and Responsibility and their role in society as citizens, the company has recently started using its film archive to produce a series of educational courseware modules on DVD, for classroom use in the teaching of Key Stage 3 Citizenship in UK schools. The first module, on the subject of "Respect", which provides illustrations from earlier decades for use in classroom discussion, has been produced in collaboration with staff and students at a secondary school, with the support of a small Strategic Commissioning Educational Grant from MLA South West. It is proving very popular with teachers and students who have used it and Greenpark Images is now embarking on producing the next DVD module, about Responsibility, in a similar format, also with a small grant from MLA South West. The company is keen to begin to market these modules nationally to all secondary schools for their Citizenship classes, but this will require about £15,000 in additional funding for each module for marketing, distribution and the clearance of rights. They are therefore keen to find a sponsor who would be interested in being associated with this project and, ideally, provide complementary opportunities to promote awareness of the courseware and of the important topics covered. They are also seeking a sponsorship partner to work with to identify other imaginative ways of using their film archive for educational and informational projects.

RISE
Rise is a charity which supports women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse in Brighton & Hove and across West Sussex. Rise' services include refuge accommodation, resettlement, crisis appointments, helpline, counselling, housing, legal and financial advice, solicitors' appointments, support groups, play therapy, 1-to-1 support and training and preventative education. This November, Rise is expanding its successful programme of fundraising events to include the inaugural Rise Conference. This event will enable Rise to raise funds to ensure the continuation of their vital services whilst raising the profile of Rise, and the profiles of the event sponsors. The conference is open to all, as the primary aim is to connect delegates with the ways in which they, and their workplaces, can help to prevent violence against women. The diversity of the audience will allow sponsors to reach people from across the sectors, as well as from across the country. Rise is offering a plethora of sponsorship and advertising opportunities for this event, starting from just £250. With all packages, there is also the opportunity to purchase extra marketing opportunities and create a bespoke sponsorship package.

SCOTTISH SPORTS FUTURES
The charity Scottish Sports Futures works with disadvantaged children both in schools and in the evenings in Scotland. It works closely with the Scottish Government (through Cashback), the NHS, The Robertson Trust and many others. The coming months will see its exposure increase dramatically and hopefully this will aid the charity in getting commercial backing so that it can increase its programmes in Scotland. "We have two core programmes which we run, Jump2it and Shell Twilight Basketball. Jump2it is a Scotland-wide initiative by the Scottish Sports Futures charity and basketball team, the Scottish Rocks, whose players go into schools and talk to the children about smoking, nutrition and physical fitness while providing an introduction to basketball. Participating schools also take part in a basketball tournament, with the final played on the Rocks' court at the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow. These programmes run for six weeks and we currently work with 130 schools with the aim over the next year to increase to 175. Our Twilight programme works with disadvantaged children with areas of social deprivation. Children from the age of 11 to 21 work with our team of youth workers and sports coaches on Friday evenings - the sessions are free to all who participate. The aims of both programmes are to     encourage 11 to 21 year olds to avoid alcohol, drugs and crime    increase self esteem, team work and social skills    increase knowledge and awareness of how diet and fitness can change lives    promote refugee and asylum seeker integration. We are looking to work with commercial sponsors across both these programmes. There are a range of opportunities available - please email me for more information".

SPORTING HEARTS
Sporting Hearts: Helping, Educating and Rehabilitating Through Sports. Sporting Hearts are working in highly disadvantaged areas of Nottinghamshire with youngsters aged 5 to 25 who are in danger of becoming socially or educationally excluded. This could be because of anti-social behaviour, lack of self-esteem, lack of basic and social skills or because of bullying or disability. "We offer access to sporting activities which will include teamwork and raising of self-esteem and self-confidence. We encourage our successes to become ambassadors within their peer groups to encourage even more youngsters to eschew crime, drugs and alcohol for sport and community work. We have an extensive network of providers who can offer a variety of sporting opportunities and progression pathways to success. These include further training, coaching and officiating courses and vocational training for employability.

EO/003 THE CAMPAIGN FOR DRAWING
For ten years, The Campaign for Drawing has shown that drawing encourages creativity, improves communication and changes perception. Drawing - its influence and products - surrounds us every day. The design of your chair, the cartoon in your daily newspaper, a child's image of home, all start with someone making marks, all start with drawing. The Campaign for Drawing aims to get everyone drawing because it is such a powerful tool for learning, invention, and social and cultural engagement. "We believe that drawing helps people to see. We pursue our aims through three main programmes: The Big Draw - our major annual celebration throughout October, involving over 1,500 large-scale participatory events in leading cultural venues across the UK and internationally, launched at a high-profile national event; The Big Draw Awards - prestigious annual awards presented to artists, teachers and cultural educators who use the power of drawing to support learning, connect communities and engage new audiences with their natural or built heritage; and Power Drawing - the professional development programme that underpins the Campaign's work, supporting teachers, educators and others through courses, publications and website resources.

    EO/005     EDUCATION EXTRA
The Education Extra Awards provide every UK school with the opportunity to access small sums of money to run any after-school club they feel will interest and excite their pupils - arts, sports, literacy, numeracy, sciences, languages and more. The awards scheme is enormously popular with schools, say Education Extra, because it is direct, easy to access and it responds to what they want to do. It puts after-school clubs within the reach of 5,000 children in 300 clubs. Schools are desperate to do more though, say the organisation, and know that these clubs give children the opportunity to shine and that self-esteem is central to creating successful (and lifelong) learners and active citizens. Education Extra is looking for a sponsor who could benefit from an association with this vibrant and important area of education, the significant local press coverage the Awards achieve and the possibility of involving their staff in the projects which are funded.

Since then, the IVDA has implemented initiatives to encourage more student involvement in dancing, both on the university and open circuits; to improve access to training; and to develop university clubs. By providing grants and support to both fledgling and established national student dance societies, IVDA has given many thousands of people the opportunity to learn and hone a skill and compete against like-minded dancers from across the country. Every year the IVDA showcases the talent it represents by holding a national student dance competition, the Inter Varsity Dance Competition (IVDC).

The IVDC provides competitions for those at every level, from beginner to advanced. It regularly attracts professional ballroom dancing couples for demonstrations. The IVDC provides exhibition stand space for sponsors and retailers with links to the dance world, who often provide student discounts on their goods. This gives companies exposure to the 800+ dancers and spectators that attend. There is also the opportunity to advertise in the hall during the competition and in the programme. The webpage boasts 900,000 impressions per month, and offers advertising space and sponsorship listing. The IVDA invites all university dance clubs in the UK to affiliate. Its committee consists of representatives from each member society.

    EO/017     THE MALAWI EDUCATION TRUST (MATEMA COLLEGE)
The objectives of the Matema Educational Trust are 1. To improve the quality of human resources in Malawi by      identifying 'beacon projects' where facilities can be established for vocational education by financing colleges, classrooms and equipment      providing vocational courses so that people can gain the necessary skills, either to enhance their employment prospects or, and preferably, so that they can start their own enterprises      providing the opportunity for school-leavers to improve their communication skills (literacy, numeracy, computing) so that they can upgrade their leaving certificate and thereby gain employment; and 2. To indirectly contribute to the development process in Malawi by      supporting the nation's struggle in poverty alleviation by breaking the poverty cycle and initiating a grass roots model      promoting sustainability in the economy by introducing concepts and practices of energy and appropriate technology. The first project is to establish Matema College near Karonga in the northern region of Malawi. Sponsorship funds would help build the first classroom block. Much of Malawi's population is in distress through periodic crop failure during drought, HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB - and one of the world's highest population growth rates. After universal free primary education was introduced, enrolment leapt and primary schools have a pupil:staff ratio of 62:1, resulting in a considerable decline in quality. Entry to secondary education is highly selective, just 140,000 pupils gaining places in essentially fee paying schools, where theoretically the pupil/staff ratio is 36:1, but in reality is much higher. More vocational education is essential to empower people with the skills to start their own small business ventures. As the country is burdened with considerable national debt - unlikely to be relieved in the immediate future - and heavily dependent upon outside aid, it's extremely important to support the Malawi Government's intervention into vocational education.

This is an unusual proposition with an appeal to those interested in putting their ££ into a bizarre - yet hugely rewarding - venture". Contact: Sofie Day. Address: 15 Carlton Road, N11 3EX.

    EO/023     TEN EM BEE SPORTS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
Ten Em Bee is a five acre modern facility situated in South London which caters for a number of sports. In addition to playing surfaces there are floodlights, changing rooms, a kitchen area and a large classroom. Mission statement:- "Ten Em Bee Sports Development Centre provides sporting opportunity for young people in an atmosphere where 'playing the game' will be a rewarding experience that will remain for life. A place of education where learning, training and personal development, standards and loyalty are valued". In partnership with a local college of higher education, the club has initiated a sport scholarship scheme. School leavers with sporting potential sign on at the college for the course of their choice. Immediately after leaving secondary school, their sporting education commences, with training and coaching three days a week. During term time additional coaching and training is provided for up to twelve hours a week. Competitive matches are played at the highest level available locally. Sport is the bait that attracts the child to education and the hook that ensures his/her continuance! In addition to academic and sporting education, emphasis is placed on social, physical and psychological development. Mentoring and career advice is available. Students are required to obtain coaching awards - when qualified they use their expertise for the benefit of local children. Support is required to develop this educational (in its widest sense) opportunity. "Our 'scholarship' scheme works!" they tell us. Support is received from a local college and Inner London Council. Partnership with Ten Em Bee guarantees links with a college, local council and the possibility of hoarding advertisments at the registered charity's facility and a local stadium. Sponsors would be seen to be supporting government initiatives and playing a major part in the education and physical development of children in South London. Contact: Tony Davis.

EO/025 TOGETHER IN WADDON COMMUNITY PROJECT
Together In Waddon is a well-established community group working in and around the Waddon Estate in Croydon, providing after school clubs and holiday activities for children, regular lunch clubs and tea dance events for older people, a welfare benefits advice service and frequent festivals, performances and whole-community events. "We have tackled some of the major issues facing the community, including anti-social behaviour, gang culture, racism, and drug and alcohol abuse and have worked to ease tensions and misunderstandings between younger and older members of the community. Our work with children and young people has been commended by the local Youth Offending Team, police and council officials who have recognised the positive impact we have made. Sudden withdrawal of council funding has forced us to seriously scale back the operation, and we urgently need support to enable us to continue our valuable work with children. Our clubs are called TEAM Academy (TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More); there is room for a sponsor's name in there!" Contact: Craig Murdoch, Development Worker.

   EO/028    WHOLEHOG PRODUCTIONS
Wholehog Productions has designed and is implementing a new concept in TV broadcasting. It includes local and national participation for "would-be" and existing presenters, filming crews, production staff and more. They will receive free training and exposure in exchange for their time and input into the project or programme they are working on, and will be credited on all parts of the media that they are involved in. The existing participants/members of the groups and teams have already started to put together a new range of TV programmes of their own design and structure. These will be broadcast on the company's broadband channel (now on test) with, eventually, the best to be broadcast on a planned Freeview twelve hour daily transmission. "We need new or used equipment, including vans to convert to OB units (we have our own technicians to do this with existing equipment), camera kit, lighting, studio equipment and furniture, and some running costs/expenses for the crews, production staff and administration staff (at present working voluntarily). To date - several years - we have all worked for little or no cost and are committed to launch this project one way or another, with or without funding. Sponsors and sponsorship will receive full accreditation and recognition on the transmissions and OB vans. We have had huge interest locally and some nationally from the small amount of advertising we have put out. We want to be able to advertise and travel the UK with our 'Initiation Team' in order to help everyone, young and old, working or not, to fulfil their natural talents and ambitions. Please get in touch and we can explain in more detail than can be covered in this listing". Contact: Robert Whittaker, Director/Organiser.

EO/029 WIRKSWORTH WELLDRESSING AND CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION
The town carnival has been in decline for the last few years and was in danger of collapsing altogether until a new committee was formed. "We are turning around the carnival and now face the next step of moving forward. We need to find a sponsor to ensure we can carry on the work we have started. In return the sponsor will have their name on all our banners and advertising leafets, etc.. It is the committee's aim to make this carnival the best in Derbyshire. We would to like to have a carnival centre where we will have classes to help people make costumes and floats, etc. and also to teach steel drumming, dance and circus workshops. To enable us to put on real show-stopper of a carnival, we will need to hire people to help us fulfill our ambitions. But this comes at a cost, which we will need a sponsor to help cover. We will also do our own fundraising events, which we already do. Further details are available - please don't hesitate to contact me". Contact: Chris Booth, Chairman.
