| OB/PL003 |  ENTERPRISE EDUCATION TRUST The Enterprise Education Trust is national business and enterprise education charity, originally founded in 1977 to bridge the gap between education and work. Its mission is to empower young people of all abilities and background with the information, knowledge and life skills necessary to realise their potential through business and enterprise, change their conception of the world of work and help them become financially responsible individuals. The charity runs interactive and experiential one-day and two-day Programmes in schools and colleges nationwide. Through business activities students identify, develop and practice essential skills such as team working, problem solving, communication and presentation, or learn about different aspects of business such as HR, sales and marketing, management, finance and IT. The Trust works with business volunteers who are part of its school Programmes in a number of ways: seminar leaders, facilitators, business plan coaches/judges or guest speakers. They share their knowledge and experience, engaging students in real business activities and discussions and playing a significant role in informing, involving and inspiring young people about their future. The Trust also trains teachers to deliver a year long in-depth business start up and personal development Programme in which the students run their own business and learn key employability skills. As one of the Trust's partners, it's possible to sponsor Programmes, to sponsor a school or even sponsor an area. The sponsor can have their own themed Programme. They can host events such as Business Plan Competitions or Summer BizCamp - or become a Corporate Member, with the Trust, training the sponsor's employees to become active Seminar Leaders/Volunteers. The trust is currently looking for sponsorship to roll out nationally its new financial capability Programme for 14 to 16 year olds, Your Money.

| OB/PL007 |  JO CAMERON HIGH PERFORMANCE ACADEMY Jo Cameron, business woman and media personality, has launched a quest to recognise the high performing women of the Midlands. Jo's High Performance Academy specialises in progressing women at work and in business and the main event, The Women on Their Way Awards, will take place at the Botanical Gardens on 27th February, 2009. This will be the first of a series of events to engage, inspire and to promote the skills of women in the Midlands. Sponsoring the awards will put the sponsor's brand right up with the best. A sponsor's association with the Academy tells their customers and staff that they value the contribution of women at work, making the company more accessible and increasingly well known in an ever more diverse marketplace. It says that the sponsor is supportive of women's enterprise and the sponsorship will powerfully support the sponsoring company's objectives in this area. "You can use the links with our brand to promote your business to more women and demonstrate that you are 'women aware' and that their clientele is important to you. You can also use the links to drive more traffic to your website and show to the world that women matter". For more information regarding the event, call 0870 2626555 or email talkto@jocameron.co.uk or visit the website at www.womenontheirway.co.uk. Contact: Lisa Ibbotson, Events & Communications Manager.

| OB/0005 | 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.). "The audience will benefit tremendously from your generosity. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for considering this request". Contact: Carolina Rodriguez, Director.

| OB/0006 | GROWING AMBITIONS Growing Ambitions (a social enterprise with an assets lock) offers a sponsor the opportunity to put their brand before every workplace in the UK. Growing Ambitions is the UK's first national online database of careers speakers for education. Every workplace in the UK is being targeted to encourage their workforce to give Careers talks in their local area. Through www.growingambitions.org people in the workplace inspire great career ideas in young people they reach, and so make a valuable and real difference to young lives. Careers advisers book Speakers through this site for young people in Year 9 upwards. 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. Contact: Sally Davis, Managing Director. Tel.: 023 9266 1600 or via email through the website. link to website 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.
