| OC/PL003 |  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 for the year April 2008 - March 2009 were well over 500,000. The results of a 2009 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.

| OC/PL018 |  INSPIRE EDUCATION: UK SCHOOLS MEMORY CHAMPIONSHIPS Inspire Education has been working with schools across the UK providing exciting and revolutionary services to all sectors of education. The organisation is passionate about raising the attainment and aspirations of students regardless of ability, to maximise their potential for learning and to achieve success in life. They have set up the UK Schools Memory Championships in order to achieve these goals. Over three hundred students competed in 2007/2008. This year, there are thousands competing. Inspire Education's highly trained presenters visit schools to deliver memory training to groups of students. These students are given a pre-printed training manual, which has been written by the eight times World Memory Champion Dominic O'Brien. Participating schools receive a Brain Club resource pack, which aids the students in setting up a club to promote memory development and brain training in general. After a period of training, in-school competitions take place across the UK. These competitions assess each student's ability to memorise five types of information in a test of raw memory power. The top students in the country are invited to a national final which is held in the region of the previous year's winner. The competition is a great way both of embedding memory techniques into education and developing life-long learning skills which are transferable across the curriculum and throughout life. Inspire Education constantly receives excellent feedback from schools, stating that these skills have had a positive affect on examination preparation and attainment levels. Recent research has shown that training the memory leads to a direct increase in problem solving ability, otherwise known as fluid intelligence. Participating students become proficient at putting these skills into practice to memorise and recall random words, random numbers and even the order of a shuffled deck of playing cards. As well as the realisation that they have acquired a powerful set of skills, this gives them the motivation and self confidence to memorise anything. These techniques are then effortlessly applied to their studies. The winners of last year's competition appeared on the BBC Breakfast News and the competition was featured in The Times and the Daily Telegraph. The size of the competition has increased dramatically this year and with it, the media interest is even greater. "As a sponsor you will be supporting the involvement of many schools that have limited funds to get involved in the training and competition; the growth of the competition throughout the UK and the provision of cutting edge resources for schools and students. Ultimately you will be helping to raise the attainment and aspirations of thousands of students across the UK. We regularly send promotional material to schools, educational departments and to government bodies. The competition has featured in several broadsheets and on the BBC News. You will be featured on all of our promotional material and on all of our press releases and television spots. Working with us will undoubtedly inspire you". Contact: Neil Denley, Director.

Structured workshops will address each element of the mix to explore and understand the core issues. Delegates will also enjoy practical site visits to see exemplars of environmental, community and business initiatives to stimulate discussion between all those who work in the economic, environmental and community sectors within lake catchments.

In terms of media coverage, the 2008 show received 159 pieces of editorial coverage, which included significant airtime on BBC Radio Stoke and prime time ITV.

As the world's largest independent touring stunt show, Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show has a lot to offer in terms of sponsorship opportunities. Currently with no sponsorship support, the show achieves an average spectator attendance of 300,000 per year. It caters for varying consumer types and gains exposure through marketing and media interest to over three million people throughout every county within the UK. This is during a touring season between March and the beginning of September. The company has plans to increase this number and extend the touring season from six months to nine months by 2010. The new itinerary will include countries such as Ireland, Canada, U.S.A, New Zealand and Australia. Given the current opportunities and the targeted growth plans for the show, the organisers have decided to offer exclusive sponsorship opportunities for hand-picked companies. The most obvious brand synergy would be with a company in the automotive industry. Therefore Stunts UK Ltd. would like to offer potential sponsors the opportunity to become a publicity partner by gaining unique media exposure through television, radio, internet and press coverage, plus live marketing with brand placement in front of their ever-growing spectator attendances, for Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show in the 2009 season.

| OC/PL030 |  TOP MODEL OF COLOUR The organisers of Top Model of Colour are looking for companies that wish to sponsor/support this year's event by providing either cash sponsorship, prizes or services for the competition. Last year's show was by far the biggest and best competition to date, with over 3,500 candidates, heats around the country and a gala finale at Chelsea Football Club's Stamford Bridge stadium in London. This year is the fourth year of the competition and is expected to be the biggest yet. The show is ongoing for nine months and consists of applications, live regional heats in July/August and the grand finale in November. So a sponsor receives continuous publicity from all client groups, models, family members and businesses. As ever the show has attracted unprecedented press coverage from the likes of the Evening Standard, Metro, the BBC and many more (as can be seen by searching the web for 'mahogany models' or visiting http://www.mahoganymodels.co.uk/show-presspage.php to get a feel for how big the show is). The competition is open to male and female models of African, Caribbean, Asian, Oriental, Hispanic and bi- and multi-racial ethnicity. Sponsors have the option of either sponsoring with cash and receiving higher prominence on the media information distributed or sponsoring prizes in kind and being a secondary or associate sponsor/supporter. Detailed current opportunities are listed below. This is the premium talent contest for models of ethnic minority descent and fills an important gap in the talent search market for people of colour. Many of the finest models working in the country today got their first break through the competition and everyone who has taken part confirms that the experience was really useful in getting day-to-day modelling jobs. "We welcome any other ideas or suggestions that you may have and we can tailor a package specifically for you and we look forward to hearing from you. To discuss the sponsorship packages and/or to receive a sponsorship pack or to become a sponsor of Top Model of Colour 2009, please contact us". Contact: Shola Oyebade.

| OC/PL031 |  UHURU AFRICA - TALENT SHOW EVENT Uhuru Africa is having an event in October to raise funds for a Small Business Education and Start Up scheme in Kenya, for people living in poverty. The organisation is holding a talent show to get the community involved and to encourage young people to unite and support the cause. As a sub-promotion, Uhuru Africa will also be promoting its campaign for free education for all African children, which has already started. It is hoped to promote the causes, unite the community and perhaps even recruit a few volunteers, as well as developing and encouraging local talent. "We are hoping it will be televised on a smaller, UK-based African television channel and are in the middle of finalising this. We would love any kind of sponsorship you could offer, be it in the form of prizes or financial offerings and will definitely make sure your logo is prominently displayed on any marketing material we use to promote the event. We are planning leaflets/entry forms and fliers, and will also provide visibility on the credits and on the TV production and also mentions throughout the show, with logos on a banner in front of the judging table. Our main target audience and attendees to the event will be the Black African and Black British community residing in the UK, although it will be open to anyone who wishes to enter. We hope to make this an annual fundraising and community event. Also, if you would like to sponsor a small business or other project, you can also do this - we are a capacity-building, pan-African organisation which assists people living in poverty to change their lives, through vocational and practical education schemes, training and small business start up support. We wish to work in all African countries. We work with local partners to deliver projects. We are also creating a good mentoring and support network for benefactors of projects to ensure the projects are sustainable and families are supported and will work in the longer term through our professionals for a social justice scheme. We also have educational programmes related to HIV which centre around football tournaments in African countries and we have other initiatives that we would appreciate support for. Kind regards and thank you in advance for your time and consideration". Contact: Jill Barraclough. Tel.: 0207 284 0822. Mobile: 07879 131 284. E-mail: jillbarraclough@uhuruafrica.net link to website

It provides practical assistance and emotional support and information through the use of experienced staff and volunteers in every community in Scotland and the Sheriff and High Courts. VSS is celebrating its twenty-fifth year this year and as part of its celebrations the charity is hosting an international conference and best practice exchange for victim practitioners, victimologists and those with a general interest in its work. The organisation is looking for sponsors for its generic work supporting people affected by crime and for contributions to its conference this year. The conference seeks to address the issue of why the majority of people do not report the crime they experience to the authorities or, indeed, for most young people, to anyone. "If you wish to make a donation to our conference we have a range of options - Platinum at £5,000, where your logo and information is used in all materials; Gold at £2,501 to £4,999, where we publish your support on written conference material and provide an exhibition stand; Silver at £1,001 to £2,500, where we publish your support on written conference material; Bronze at £501 to £1,000, where we acknowledge your support in our reception area; and less than £500, where we say thankyou. Donations of any kind are warmly accepted to aid our generic work to support people affected by crime. It costs us £850 to develop and train a volunteer, £10 for helping someone on the phone and £25 to help one victim of crime. Will you help too?" Contact: S. Gallagher.

The organisation relies solely on the hard work and dedication of volunteers and visionaries to take the vision forward; however, there is so much more that they have planned to really broaden their reach and their usefulness to designers and creatives, and they now seek outside sponsorship and support that will enable them to take the organisation to the next level. Currently, Untold produces fashion shows and exhibitions during London Fashion Week, including the Fashion Diversity event produced in partnership with Mahogany Model Management and Museum of London. They have also produced shows at such venues as the Clink Prison Museum, The Foundling Museum and the Kensington Rooms and have an ongoing partnership with the London Design Festival. Untold also works with Clothes Show London and debuts at The Glam Show at Earls Court this October. "All of these opportunities have been created through the organisation since it began in 2007. Over the next year we are seeking to establish a base from which designers can have a retail presence which will also double up as a flexible workspace and training venue for new and aspiring designers. We are seeking to forge long term working relationships with our supporters and sponsors and this can be in varying forms, including services in kind and monetary donations".
