Events
There are many social events in our fundraising calendar which attract sponsorship at different levels. Sponsorship can be at a major level where the sponsor is involved from the initial stages, ensuring maximum opportunity to incorporate branding and to highlight the company’s objectives. It can also be a smaller financial contribution, which still meets set objectives, allowing a company to demonstrate its support for a local charity, whilst increasing awareness of their product amongst target audiences. For example, events that we seek corporate sponsorship for include: the Hospice Ball, Midnight Walk, Ladies Luncheons, the Golf Tournament and Light up a Life.
Alternatively, such events as the Ladies Luncheons, the Hospice Ball and Golf Tournament are ideal for corporate entertaining.
Equipment
In addition to sponsorship of events, we are always looking for companies who wish to sponsor a specific item needed by the Hospice. This could be a piece of medical equipment, office furniture, or a decorative item or furnishings for one of the rooms. For example, Barnsley Building Society helped towards the purchase of the art tables for The Limes.
Promotional Material
In order to promote the work of the Hospice and keep in contact with supporters and potential supporters, we produce and regularly update a variety of brochures, leaflets and newsletters. Funding the design, print or distribution expenditure is another way in which companies can support our work and help reduce costs.
Advertising
Many of the events we organise include opportunities for advertising, helping to promote your business visually within the community. For example, we encourage local businesses to advertise in our souvenir programme, which we publish for the Hospice Ball held in September.
