FlaTwOrkMUSIC
The compulsory music and marking system used for FlaTwOrkMUSIC competitions was originally created for use in conjunction with current British Dressage Freestyle2Music testing. The objective was to help redress the current system's imbalance of having 70% of marks being awarded for technical merit while allowing only a subjective and arbitrary 'general impression' mark for the music element. Consideration was also given to the fact that current competitors who have music professionally fitted to an existing floor plan are in fact gaining advantage from a skill that is not theirs. The newly written Compulsory Music system underwent extensive trials in New Zealand from November 2009 to March 2010. The trials themselves were very successful, and the choices of attractive music and simple application concept gave rise to many 'straight dressage' competitors asking to run the compulsory section as a stand-alone competition, so that they could experience the joy they witnessed in others riding to music. The standalone competitions went ahead at Level 2/3 (Novice/Elementary) in three New Zealand venues with all entrants completing questionnaires about their experience. The overriding conclusions as to why so many dressage riders had not previously ridden Freestyle2Music were related to a lack of ability and time needed to produce suitable music for themselves: costs of having it done professionally were also a major disincentive. While everyone who took part perceived that they themselves were more relaxed and that their horses moved better while riding to music, they believed that sourcing suitable music and the editing required to make an acceptable soundtrack for Freestyle was a skill unrelated to equestrianism and many found the prospect of doing it themselves bemusing.

WORLD IMAGE TOUR
There are a plethora of photo-sharing sites on the web these days and many of them feature excellent photos of all sorts of places. Unfortunately, a lot of these attractive images come with descriptions like 'Italy' or 'Russia', and nothing more - or even just 'untitled'. Clearly, there is a need for a photo site which does more to inform than these sites generally do, and doesn't cost anything. That's what World Image Tour does - it's an informative and educational site, as well as being one that provides imagery of various places around the world, which can also be viewed without the information if desired. The main galleries are presented in Flash format at the moment. This is for the convenience of the zoom and pan functions, but also as a protective measure for those images which are not available for re-use (although these are few). The main galleries feature photos from the past twenty years. Projected additional features include Archives galleries (photos more than twenty years old and ones which have been replaced with more recent images of the same scene) and Historical galleries (photos over fifty years old). Both these sections would be presented in fully downloadable JPEG formats, using only public domain images. Other plans include expanding the Fast Facts Files sections to include several language choices, and several sub-sections (languages, religions, etc.). "The site's viewership has grown consistently since the first pages were put up just for fun over three years ago. I would like to dedicate more time to the site, but need sponsorship funding to enable this to happen". Contact: Alix Lee Speakman. E-mail: alix@alixlee.com.

TRUST HEALTH SERVICES
Trust Health Services (THS) is a healthcare service company based in China and the UK. THS can offer two opportunities for companies to improve awareness of their services or brands and also complete any corporate social responsibilities. First, THS has completed filming of a project called Yang Sheng, meaning Long Life, involving demonstrational, instructional videos in the arts of Tai Chi, Traditional Dance and Specialised Aerobics. Secondly, Yang Sheng will be launched through a Health Culture Exchange Program (HCEP) that will involve approximately twenty-five professionals coming from north China to introduce these arts to all age groups (although specifically to the middle to late age groups) or people with minor problems such as being overweight or having hypertension. The performances will be held in a university for the young and through fitness centres and open-air locations in city centres or parks, to attract people from all walks of life. The promotional video is available for all sponsorship applicants and will be distributed freely through websites and on DVD during events. The HCEP will be filmed by a Chinese TV crew that will air a reality program based on the experiences of the cast of performers visiting the UK. This program has the ability to reach in excess of one million people in the catchment area of the television station. The program can be translated and, with a voiceover applied, can be transmitted on UK TV. There are considerable opportunities for advertising in both programs through branded, gifts, ie chopsticks, paper lanterns, children painting blank Beijing Opera masks during promotion by the Chinese students at Salford and Manchester Universities, on the streets of Manchester and Chester where open air displays are planned. The media opportunities will be available in both China and UK through TV, radio, websites and local newsreels and papers. The Yang Sheng video program will include advertising space and be targeting all age groups and will be split into two sections: primarily made up of the beautiful, slow moving, low impact movements of Tai Chi and secondly the traditional Chinese dance. The Health Culture Exchange venues will include city centres, charity events, university performance, fitness centres and open air restaurants and during all events the Yang Sheng video will be on sale. There are six Tai Chi and three Dance videos, each including a demonstration, teacher's voiceover during instruction, and a booklet explaining the various moves, all of which carry their own branding opportunities. "There are three simple sponsorship programs on offer and depending on the package that best suits your company or organisation, this will dictate the costs (please refer to the sponsorship brochure that can be accessed via the download button below). For updated information about current opportunities or application for sponsorship please email us". Contact: David Turton, Director. Address: 13 Matterhorn Road, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire CH66 1TR.

THE FITS FOUNDATION
The FITS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation created specifically to provide training and accreditation for technicians in educational establishments. FITS (Framework for ICT Technical Support) is a set of guidance processes designed to streamline ICT service management and delivery in schools. Evidence has shown that implementing FITS processes cuts the costs of ICT support provision, delivers a higher return on ICT investment and a positive impact on teaching and learning outcomes. FITS, originally developed by Becta, the government agency leading the national drive to ensure the effective and innovative use of technology throughout learning, is now managed and supported through The FITS Foundation. The FITS Foundation's goal is to provide a clear career path for ICT technicians in schools through their accreditations, both of which are internationally recognised qualifications and listed on the QCA register. The accreditations provide technicians with NVQ levels 4 and 5 qualifications. The FITS Foundation is now inviting sponsors to help them in their objectives of professionalising the technical workforce, providing improved returns on ICT investment and a positive impact on the teaching and learning experiences. Contact: Trevor Greenfield, Technical Director. Address: Pure Offices, Plato Close, Tachbrook Park, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire CV34 6WE. Tel.: 01926 800121.

Leading Learning Trust
The Leading Learning Trust is an education charity which exists to further education for the public benefit. "We are currently two primary schools serving a culturally rich and diverse area in Newham, East London. Our schools are the hub of our communities and are highly valued by all stakeholders. Both schools are high performing, welcoming, safe and highly vibrant learning environments, in spite of the challenges our families often face in this part of London. The Trust's vision is 'transforming lives': we truly believe that education is at the forefront of social change and that all of our children deserve equality access to the cutting edge opportunities that children who live in more affluent areas often experience. We continually strive for innovation and excellence and this was recognised in the most recent Ofsted inspections (April 2019) where both schools were judged as 'Outstanding'. Like many other schools across the country, Covid has been an enormous learning curve and, while it had many negative consequences on our children and their families, it has also given us the opportunity to review and develop our current practice. A key part of the work we did during this period was the rapid provisioning of a number of applications within our cloud-based system, Google's G Suite for Education, to enable us to continue to educate our children, whether they were at home or in school (as some children were during lockdown). As we look to support our whole community through Covid-19 and beyond, we are enhancing our existing digital capability and are talking to a number of corporate partners in connection with this programme, seeking sponsorship that would empower us to provide each primary aged child with an electronic device. This is a critical part of our strategy and a key driver for innovative and sustainable change, both for curricular development and the future outcomes of all of our pupils and their families. We believe that a partnership would be mutually beneficial - the sponsor would directly impact on the journey of recovery that will give our children equality of access in a future digital world".

ACADEMY OF VEDIC MATHEMATICS
Clive Middleton is the web master for the web site www.vedicmaths.org. He has helped develop a range of interactive tutorials for this web site. "I am looking for sponsorship to cover the cost of developing more interactive web based tutorials on the subject of Vedic Mathematics. The practise of Vedic Mathematics naturally develops the ability of a person to perform mental calculations. If you wish to get a feel for the kind of material I wish to develop then see the interactive tutorials already made available at our website, www.vedicmaths.org. The development of these tutorials requires full time work for a prolonged period of time: hence the requirement to cover the cost of my wages and other development costs. It is my belief that the development of this material will transform the teaching of mathematics and allow people to become human calculators. This has the potential to transform education and what people actually can learn. Please see the attached PDF document for more details of our funding requirements and Thank You".

JUNIOR MEMORY CHAMPIONSHIP (Learning Skills research)
Sponsorship is sought for the Junior Memory Championship, which works with schools to promote memory skills for children. The Junior Memory Championship is the only nationwide memory championship for primary schools in the UK. Now in its seventh year, it is an important educational initiative bringing valuable memory skills to the forefront of learning. In its first six years it has reached over 61,000 children. Over the past two years, the Junior Memory Championship has enjoyed some substantial media coverage in TESPro, Guardian Teachers Network, The Times and on BBC Radio 4's Midweek programme. The Founder of the Junior Memory Championship is Jonathan Hancock, former World Memory Champion, holder of two Guinness World Records and author of nine books on memory and learning. Importantly he is deputy headmaster of a primary school in Brighton and ensures that every element of this project is keyed into the real learning needs of children, and the practicalities of teaching in a crowded curriculum. As a teacher he sees for himself how memory and learning techniques are central to educational success. Jonathan says: "Today's primary school pupils may be adept at using the latest computer games and the internet, but they can still have difficulty learning the information and skills they're taught at school. To tackle these issues, and to make the most of the way the 'iPad Generation' thinks and learns, ancient memory techniques are being put to use as part of this national competition. The Junior Memory Championship involves ten and eleven year olds being shown how the ancient Greeks and Romans taught their students to remember, using strategies remarkably similar to today's interactive computer games and social-networking sites". The organisers of the championship, the Learning Skills Foundation, deliver a range of learning materials (developed by Jonathan Hancock) for primary teachers to use. These materials include lesson plans, INSET pack, video clips, a full memory training programme for the Year 6 children and materials to develop learning skills in other year-groups. "We wish to grow this project to reach most primary schools throughout the UK. We seek sponsorship of £30,000 to further develop and expand the Junior Memory Championship to enable the maximum number of teachers and children to participate and benefit from vitally important memory systems. Please see the downloadable document for further information". Contact: Mrs Caroline Shott. Address: Learning Skills Foundation, 8 Swift Street, London SW6 5AG.
Benefits
• For the Main sponsor of £30,000, there would be naming rights for the Junior Memory Championship, a highlighted sponsor listing on the home page of the website with hyperlink, the sponsor's company name highlighted on all educational materials, on the Sponsors' Page (on the website) a half page message of support, and a large banner advert across the home page of the website.
• For Major sponsors of £15,000, there would be a listing on the home page of the website with a hyperlink, the sponsor's company name on all educational materials. On the Sponsors' Page (on the website), there would be a quarter page message of support, together with a medium-sized banner advert across the home page.

BATTLE MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL
"The event of the weekend", The Guardian. The Battle Festival of arts and music, held in October, seeks to fund and present major classical concerts and a new music commission to be performed by children from twelve schools, at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, a workshop/performance to introduce young children to an orchestra. "We want to take music to people who can't attend concerts through infirmity, at local residential homes and hospices. We want to offer Master Classes on song writing and how to enter the music industry. We present jazz and contemporary music. We facilitate and encourage a visual arts strand, showcasing local and international artists. Most of all we want to encourage and develop talent and enhance people's wellbeing through awareness of, and participation in, music and the arts. The Festival Committee established Battle Festival in 2013. It received considerable critical acclaim and appealed to a wide age group. The committee is managed by a team of creative professionals and educators. Artistic Director Dan Cornford, principle Viola Player of the London Philharmonic, draws on the skills and experience of internationally-renowned performers to deliver our classical repertoire to a rural community. Musical education and outreach projects are managed by John Boyd, former Head of the Hastings Areas Music Service. The inaugural project delivered in 2014 drew together 300 children from six varied schools and, working with East Sussex Hub providers, delivered a programme of music to children in addition to the curriculum. Young musicians (popular music) were provided mentoring opportunities from an Ivor Novello Award winner, songwriting workshops, alongside a Q & A session with industry figures, including BBC Introducing, thus delivering invaluable advice, support and inspiration for musicians at an early stage, an experience not available at school or the rural community. Opera in a Day was presented by Glyndebourne Education Department and we have joint plans for a major collaboration in 2016. A diverse range of Battle Fringe activities was programmed to supplement and enhance the core programme. This will be developed for 2015 to include a greater visual arts element. We will produce a world class music and arts festival that enthuses the local community, boosts the local economy and encourages visitors to the region. We want to make Battle an essential cultural destination for the arts, inspiring new audiences and bringing world-class performers and artists to Battle. We will expand on our 2014 visual arts element, producing a programme for local, regional and international artists, including gallery exhibitions, free talks, workshops, demonstrations and masterclass mentoring sessions. We are partners with Battle Town Council and the Pure Arts Group and are constructing an Arts and Heritage Trail and a competition for a sculpture to be placed on a roundabout. This will foster 'Health and Wellbeing' with participants and audience. In 2016 we will further develop all our art and music streams as part of the celebration of the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings". Contact: Steve Scott.

LINCOLNSHIRE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Lincolnshire International Chamber Music Festival (LICMF) has been in existence since 2004 with the aim of bringing chamber music of the highest quality to remote areas of our county, and to audiences who would otherwise not have the opportunity for such a wonderful experience. "Using a variety of venues, including churches, country houses and small village halls, we have been able to bring the joy of live music to such communities, performed by first-class musicians with truly international reputations, who thrill their audiences and enrich their enjoyment. We achieve this through the expertise of our Lincolnshire-born artistic director, Ashley Wass, who is fully committed to the festival - he creates imaginative and varied programmes on a different theme each year, and has also included specially-commissioned works in the repertoire which have been given their premieres in Lincolnshire! In 2014 we began a new venture, taking professional musicians into primary schools to give 'workshops' to as many pupils as possible, including many small village schools, and providing a wonderful opportunity for the children; one of our headteachers described our visit as 'a privilege'. These musicians then perform as part of our very successful Lunchtime Concert series at the Lincoln Drill Hall which takes place once a month from September to July. Our festival is recognised by the BBC as one of the country's leading chamber music festivals. They have broadcast our concerts as part of the Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert series on many occasions. Any sponsors are acknowledged and thanked in all of our programmes and brochures, and on the website, unless they choose otherwise. Members of the board can be contacted via LICMF's office address at Lincoln Drill Hall, Free School Lane, Lincoln, LN2 1EY, by telephone on 07757708858 or via e-mail on licmfoffice@ntlworld.com".

NEW MOZART ORCHESTRA
The New Mozart Orchestra has a mission: it is to bring live orchestral music into the community, and specifically to Britain's youngsters. As well as the association with high quality music-making and an organisation that contributes to the much-needed musical nourishment of Britain's children, many other benefits are available to the prospective sponsor. These include premium advertising opportunities, brand exposure, the chance to participate in workshops with orchestra members, prime seating at concerts and complimentary tickets. The nmo has for many years been a leading provider of concert and outreach activity. And so, with this substantial experience of delivering outstanding performances to a wide variety of age groups, it is a natural progression to stimulate interest and access in local communities. Attracting fantastic reviews ("Last night it was impossible not to hang on every note in the performance that opened another evening with the New Mozart Orchestra under Clive Fairbairn" - The Times), the nmo can provide the opportunity to develop a mutually beneficial partnership, a relationship which could change the cultural and corporate lives of people across the length and breadth of the country. More information on joining such organisations as The Foundation for Sport and the Arts, Xerox UK and The Esmé Fairbairn Trust and sponsoring the nmo is available on request.

Combining what might be perceived as 'classical' lollipops with works of contemporary composers seems to avoid scaring off the audience before they get near a concert, say the organisers. At least fourteen professional chamber concerts take place annually. Sponsorship is needed in order to fund present work and UK tours involving concerts, community workshops and commissions. Benefits can include company logo on flyers and advertisements, as well as complimentary tickets. Contact: Peter Morgan. Address: 27 Watkin Street, Swansea SA1 6YD. Tel.: 01792 548231.

GLOUCESTER ACADEMY OF MUSIC
Gloucester Academy of Music (GAM) is a not-for-profit educational organisation based in the centre of Gloucester. For over a quarter of a century, it has been the starting place for thousands of young musicians, attracting students from across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. On top of individual tuition on a number of different musical instruments it offers a wide range of group activities, including junior string and wind groups, orchestras and choir. Over the past few years, the Academy has worked in partnership with, amongst others, the Carducci Quartet, English Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra of the Swan on workshop and performance projects. It also runs a series of holiday courses throughout the year and engages with the community through outreach projects in schools. "GAM remains committed to widening access to classical music for all young people, and we are seeking sponsorship for a bursary fund to enable us to offer financial assistance towards fees for young people who would otherwise be unable to develop their musical potential. All sponsors would be listed on our website and on printed material such as concert programmes. Musical education is important in developing a child's concentration, team work, mathematical skills, discipline and rigour - but can also be a lot of fun. We believe that learning an instrument is too valuable an opportunity to be restricted to those with the financial means. In this economic climate, where the arts face Government funding cuts, we will be forced to rely on the generosity of patrons and the private sector to expand these opportunities to all".

JACKDAWS MUSIC EDUCATION TRUST
Jackdaws Music Education Trust urgently seeks a new sponsor for its Great Elm Vocal Awards - an annual competition for aspiring young professional singers aged 22 to 30 from across the UK and overseas. The Awards, which offer some of the most valuable prizes in the UK, have been held annually since 1992 and have helped launch the operatic careers of many young singers who are now gaining international recognition. The prize money helps the winners further their singing careers. The Awards Winners have also gone on to win prizes in the Kathleen Ferrier Awards, Cardiff Singer of the World and The Royal Overseas League. Although the preliminary rounds take place in London, the Finals have always been held in Great Elm in Somerset which is the home of Jackdaws. Jackdaws Music Education Trust is recognised nationally and locally as a major contributor to classical music education. Jackdaws was founded in 1993 by Maureen Lehane Wishart, the current Artistic Director and a former international mezzo-soprano. The Trust was set up to promote access to music for all ages, abilities and backgrounds through teaching and performing by first class teachers and artists. A programme of residential courses, community courses and the Great Elm Vocal Awards are run from the picturesque Vallis Vale at Great Elm, Frome, Somerset. The natural beauty of the setting by the river is extremely conducive to artistic endeavour. Dame Joan Sutherland is the Patron of Jackdaws and its Vice-Patrons are Sir Charles Mackerras, James Bowman and the Earl of Oxford and Asquith. Contact: Maureen Lehane Wishart, Artistic Director.

THE JUNCTION CDC
Rock, pop and club music workshops and events at venues across Suffolk help young people across the county enjoy, and possibly make a career out of, music. The Amplifier project was founded back in October 2004, promising to help budding musicians make the most of their skills – either just for fun or as a way of earning their living. Aimed at 11 to 25 year olds, the programme covers all aspects of the music industry including: music workshops – to develop their singing and playing skills; song-writing and composing sessions – multi-media sessions – using computers to make music; music business seminars – looking at how to get gigs, improving publicity skills and releasing CDs; studio craft – making the most of studio time and making your band sound better; the good gig guide – how to put on music events successfully and safely; and rock journalism – making a career out of writing about music. Participants are able to do individual sessions or follow a more structured course. For some participants this may lead to a recognised qualifications. Despite the rural nature of the county, Amplifier aims to make sure no one misses out. Workshops take place at seven main venues – one in each district across the county these are supplemented by three smaller venues in each area. Amplifier is a joint initiative between county, district and borough councils in Suffolk and The Arts Council England East. Funding for the project has been secured from the Lottery, the European Social Fund and Crime Reduction Funds. Funding is currently being sought from a range of charities, trusts and businesses. Sponsorship opportunities include: headline sponsor, equipment sponsorship, event sponsorship, etc. All future marketing material can include logos of major sponsors.

PUSS 'N FLUTES MUSIC GROUPS
Puss 'n Flutes, based in Woodbridge, Suffolk, needs financial help to launch nationally a new concept in teaching music notation to pre-school children. This system has been developed over the last seven years in its music classes and has proven very successful. It introduces children to the language of music in a fun but educational way. The organisation's product consists of a teaching booklet, a CD containing original songs and a poster. The potential market includes nursery schools and reception classes, of which there are thousands in this country alone. Puss 'n Flutes is run by two hard up mothers who feel passionately about their music and its benefits to children from every walk of life. As a guide, sponsorship of £5,000 would cover initial costs to help get this valuable product off the ground. Contact: Carol Jopling. Address: 35 Gurdon Road, Grundisburgh, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP13 6XA. Tel.: 01473 735812. E-mail: carol@jopling.fslife.co.uk.

THE VOICES FOUNDATION
The Voices Foundation, founded in 1993 by Susan Digby, believes that music is vital for the overall development of children. Its innovatory, singing-based Foundation programme currently runs in over forty schools nationwide, from Durham all the way down to North Devon, delivered by highly trained Advisory Teachers, who come into the schools, work with all the children and teachers, giving all staff the confidence to teach music as they teach other curriculum subjects. The benefits are real and ongoing: all children can sing and acquire the language of music as they can their native tongue · Arts in education can have a humanising effect and provide an antidote to problems in society · Well taught music develops intellect and character · Children acquire self-discipline, social and communication skills, awareness and tolerance · Teachers’ morale, self-esteem, skill base and confidence greatly improve · Children from deprived inner-city and rural areas find the programme particularly valuable · Head Teachers report improved social behaviour and less playground aggression · Major positive impact on literacy and numeracy skills, as reported by OFSTED · Music is part of the statutory requirement within the National Curriculum · Many primary schools have no specialist teachers · There are no adequate resources for training · No opportunities are available to redress the situation. Many of these schools are desperately short of funds, say the Foundation. Their Head Teachers hear of The Voices Foundation’s work and are keen to take the programme, but have no money to pay for it. The Voices Foundation actively fundraises in order to respond positively to schools’ requests, and has attracted generous support. Opportunities for business sponsorship include adopting a school or schools; attending an end-of-term singing day; recognition in the local/national arts/education press; and a feeling of responsible involvement in the local community.

MEDIA SHOWCASE
As a self-taught artist who has worked professionally in design, illustration and photography, Alix Speakman would like to develop this site but needs sponsorship to do so. "The idea behind the site is to provide free resources for the use of other visual artists, particularly aspiring artists who don't have the opportunity to take up a full-time art college education, or don't want to make such a major commitment. These resources include much of my own previous work, as well background information on how I went about creating various visual artworks. I'd like to complement that with tutorials in web page and pdf form, software reviews and buying guides, and extensive links to external resources - but all that takes time I can't afford to dedicate in my present job. Well, that's the idea for the site and as you can see I've already begun work on it. Please browse the site to get a better idea of what it's all about. Any degree of sponsorship invovlement can be considered, sole sponsorship, partial, etc. If you have any questions, please drop me a line at sponsorshipforsite@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you within a few days".

ABERAVON RFC
"Do you believe in giving something back? Then this sponsorship opportunity is for you". Aberavon RFC was founded in 1876 and moved to its present home, the Talbot Athletic Ground, in 1907. Several of the current Ospreys squad have passed through Aberavon's ranks - flankers Justin Tipuric and James King, centre Ashley Beck, prop Ryan Bevington and scrum-half Rhys Webb have all gone on to represent Wales. "We play in the Welsh Principality Building Society Premiership, British & Irish Cup and the Swalec Cup and receive media coverage through TV, newspapers and numerous other media coverage. Aberavon RFC seeks sponsors to continue our development work in schools across Port Talbot with children aged 7-11 via our competitive sports programme for Rugby and Netball. The programme includes Rugby and Netball so that both girls and boys have an opportunity to take part in sport at a competitive level. It also provides many exit routes outside of schools that already exist with clubs for the children to follow if they don't already play for a team. The programme is part of a long-term initiative to develop and increase sport participation and rugby awareness, personal fitness and the need to balance sport with academic improvement within Port Talbot schools. Created to reinstate the positive relationship between Aberavon RFC and the Port Talbot primary schools, the programme has the support of local MPs, along with Neath & Port Talbot Council. The diversity of the programme has been a huge positive experience for over 3,000 pupils each season. Port Talbot has the second highest levels of obesity in Wales, along with other social issues and low income issues for families; but with your support we can help combat this together and brighten up the futures of the children we work with, along with putting your company's name into the schools', public's and children's eyes. In return for your becoming a partner we will develop a rights and activation package to align with your brand. Please check out more on the programme here: http://www.aberavonwizards.co.uk/communityrugby6.htm. Costain currently sponsor the programme but are ending their involvement due to their project moving on from the area. Aberavon RFC also seek other commercial partners for shirt, community and advertising opportunities - see this page: http://www.aberavonwizards.co.uk/commercial.htm.

OSPREYS IN THE COMMUNITY
Ospreys in the Community is a not-for-profit foundation that was granted charitable status in November 2016, one year after it was formally launched at the Liberty Stadium, Swansea. Although OitC shares a strong relationship with Ospreys Rugby, and forms a key part of the club's long-term business strategy, it operates on an entirely independent basis to the professional rugby organisation, Wales' leading and most successful club. Working in conjunction with commercial partners, public sector bodies and third sector agencies to generate financial support and resources, the aim of OitC is to create a vibrant and sustainable foundation that utilises the undoubted power of the Ospreys brand, and players, in a positive fashion, to harness social good and make an impact in communities. OitC has already created a wide range of strategic partnerships enabling the creation and activation of innovative programmes that will be contained within four strategic themes: Education, Health, Sport and Inclusion. These partnerships, which include international, national and local businesses, education and health authorities, and local and national government departments, enabled OitC to engage with 17,000 people in its first year. OitC’s community engagement activities include • Creating and delivering a groundbreaking educational programme aimed at primary school children, focusing on literacy, numeracy and digital competencies, with a clear focus on complimenting the existing school curriculum. More than 3,000 children a year are now engaging with the programme, which is completely free for participating schools • TACKLE, a project aimed at 14-16 year olds in Communities First areas combining action-packed rugby sessions with education pathways and mentoring sessions with the aim of helping improve self-confidence, school attainment and employability skills among hard to reach teenagers • Facilitating rugby camps and festivals for juniors and youths of both genders, as well as development days at community rugby clubs across south Wales to encourage active young people • Development and delivery of both an adult and youth wheelchair rugby teams • A senior womens rugby team and new Rugby Cluster centres for girls teams from Under 9s through to Under 15s. Having worked with over 17,000 children, adults and families in its first year, OitC requires sponsorship to support growth plans to work with a further 20,000 individuals this year. An ideal opportunity for a company looking to sponsor a wide range of objectives and keen to support deprived communities, OitC can offer a premium programme of national and international brand exposure, marketing opportunities including access to world-class international players as well as the opportunity to connect directly with the target audience through its database of around 20,000 local families. Ospreys enjoys a solid social media following with an average engagement level of 200k per month, which will be another key platform for promoting partnerships.

CEME (Centre for Engineering & Manufacturing Excellence): Gateway to Skills
The Gateway to Skills (GTS) programme provides a creative and inspiring 'Taster Day' for local secondary level schoolchildren in years 7 - 10 from the London boroughs of Newham, Havering and Barking & Dagenham (East Plus). Its objectives are to • Create greater awareness of STEM subjects in secondary school level students • Stimulate students' interest in Engineering and STEM in a fun and interesting environment outside of school • Enhance existing, and develop new, personal skills in Technology and Construction • Provide awareness of Engineering career options and the scope of sector-wide application • Help to increase the available number of future engineers in the local area. The programme is run from dedicated facilities at CEME (Centre for Engineering & Manufacturing Excellence) that provide an integrated classroom and workshop environment that is tailored to theoretical and practical learning by schoolchildren. The facilities also host a full IT suite of connected computers, allowing students to learn from proprietary and bespoke content. In addition, a variety of supplies of building and engineering materials such as Knex blocks, electronic circuitry, robotics and software form part of the programme resources and enable construction of structures and ideas that require the principles of design and engineering to be applied. "Since 2006, the programme has delivered to well over 1,000 schoolchildren from the London East Plus areas and we plan to expand this geographic coverage in the future. GTS is designed to focus specifically on STEM subjects and to bring them alive in an interesting and fun way that will inspire schoolchildren to become more interested in these crucial subject areas. Unfortunately, many secondary level schools in the East Plus area suffer from a lack of funding to be able to create and deliver a similar STEM programme of their own. Consequently, they are often unable to gain access to the specialist equipment and teaching and denied the opportunity to educate and inspire their students in this way. The GTS programme steps in to fill that gap to provide that necessary and valuable opportunity for the local schools. This means that they can still receive interesting and high-quality, curriculum-based activity that supports their own teaching programmes without the need to find extra funding, as the programme is delivered free-of-charge to the participating schools who are located within the London Boroughs of Havering, Newham and Barking and Dagenham. The commercial sponsorship package is priced at £85,000. This provides for 1,000 student places that can be delivered over one or two academic years. The participating students would be currently from the London boroughs of Newham, Havering and Barking & Dagenham (East Plus). However, it is planned to expand that area to also include other London boroughs and south Essex schools whose location is close to the CEME campus".

Milton Keynes - a basketball destination waiting to happen. 300,000 people, an 800 seat basketball arena due in 2024, the 4,000 seat Marshall Arena already in place, the nearest BBL team sixty miles away - and probably the largest and fastest growing junior community basketball programme outside of the BBL.
MK Basketball has grown from just forty kids in a small gym back in 2018 to a programme now offering community and JNL basketball to over 350 boys and girls, with plans to expand from two to four basketball centres, 500 players and a CVL within MK itself.
Working with two local secondary schools, September 2021 will see the start of the MK Basketball Academy, as well as the first Senior Men's National League team to play in MK since the MK Lions left almost a decade ago.
"Already a great success, the club is looking for investment and committed partners to share our journey, put Milton Keynes firmly on the basketball map and work towards becoming a professional organisation that the city can be proud of".

"Our groups are aged from 3 to 19 and we have workshops in dance, drama and musical theatre.

WEST END KIDS
West End Kids is a unique centre of excellence based in London for young performers aged 10-18 who show exceptional talent and dedication in musical theatre and the performing arts. In turn, the company provides the "Kids" with challenging performance experiences via workshop style coaching. Since its creation in 2001, West End Kids has provided dedicated students with all the tools they need to progress into outstanding performers, with focus on singing, choreography, attitude, mental-toughness, work ethic and expectation. West End Kids is very proud of the fact that a very high proportion of its pupils have successfully applied to the performing arts school/college of their choice including the Brits School, Sylvia Young and Mountview. Furthermore when its students move into work professionally, there is no shock to the system as they have been working to the same standards for years. This makes the transition smooth for them and ensures they are a pleasure for directors to work with. Recently, a West End Kid, Holly-Anne Hull, won the Disney Channel's prestigious My Camp Rock competition. This was a great honour for both West End Kids and its Managing Director Martin Williams, who has provided personal vocal tuition to Holly-Anne for many years. Moreover, Holly-Anne displayed perfectly the standards that all West End Kids aspire to and indeed achieve. West End Kids is very active in using many forms of the media both for communication with its pupils and promotion of the company. Its website www.westendkids.co.uk receives 120,000 hits per year. West End Kids is also very active in Facebook and YouTube where it publicises its various activities and performances and as a consequence has a loyal following of thousands of fans throughout the world. The cost of running West End Kids is, not surprisingly, very expensive. In particular, London rehearsal venues are not cheap, therefore the company faces constant financial constraints. On the other hand the company is committed to providing professional advanced coaching to young performers with talent, regardless of financial circumstance. Faced with this persistent financial conundrum, West End Kids is looking for sponsorship of its rehearsal overheads so that it can continue to offer its current first class coaching programme to young musical theatre talent rather than restrict it merely to those who can afford it. West End Kids is confident that sponsors of the company will benefit from its growing national recognition via the ever-increasing demand for public performances, open workshops and media promotion. Indeed, this is a wonderful opportunity for a sponsor to gain excellent publicity, especially within the youth sector as West End Kids would be looking to promote the sponsor's name at all its events throughout the year. Over the last twelve months, the West End Kids brand was seen by in excess of 300,000 consumers. If such sponsorship fits in with your profile in this sector West End Kids would be delighted to discuss this matter. Contact: Mrs Julie-Ann Harris. Address: 36 Chestnut Avenue, Coney Hall, West Wickhem BR4 9ES. Tel.: 020 8123 2025. E-mail: julie.harris@westendkids.co.uk

PROPS THEATRE ARTS SCHOOL
Props Theatre Arts School in North Wales is looking for a long term sponsor to help with its running costs. Now in its seventh year, the school has had no funding from any other organisation but has raised several thousands of pounds for various charities over the years through special productions. It has several students who are unable to meet the fees (£25 - £30 a month) and discreetly supports them with free places, helping them achieve their full potential either locally or elsewhere. Funds are raised through student fees, ticket sales, events and merchandising and from advertising in its annual brochure/prospectus. The school aims to produce at least four shows a year, teaching through performance and covering everything from Shakespeare to musical theatre and comedy as well as stage management, lighting, sound etc.. It also covers the L.A.M.D.A. syllabus, with excellent results. The school works out of, and manages, a War Memorial Building which is a Charitable Trust in dire straits: it is struggling to pay the rent which just covers the utility bills and insurance and thus keeps the building open as a community building and home to the local youth club. The school is about to diversify into film work but funds are running out. Sponsors would be kept informed and consulted about progress and plans and would be encouraged to be as involved as they might wish. Their name would appear on all marketing and publicity material.
