| CE/PL001 |  BIOTRUCK After successfully completing the world's first carbon neutral expedition by driving from the UK to Timbuktu in a truck fuelled by chocolate biodiesel, the BioTruck team is now preparing for their next eco-adventure, flying from the UK to Outer Mongolia in June 2008 using a fuel made from landfill waste. Starting from the Eden Project, they’ll be using the low-carbon fuel to power the BioTruck and two small powered paragliders to prove the viability of the bio-aviation fuel made from rubbish. It’s a technology that could soon have all passenger flights cutting carbon and putting rubbish to good use. Far from hair-brained eco-nonsense, this expedition is being monitored by independent experts who will certify the carbon footprint and ecological value. The team is looking for a single title sponsor that can meet the £80,000 operating budget for the expedition, but can also consider smaller contributions for a share of the exposure. The expedition organiser and former journalist, Andy Pag, has a proven track record for generating and managing media interest and delivering a genuinely environmentally beneficial expedition which has proved to be beyond criticism. The last expedition generated £200k of media value. A partial list of coverage can be seen here. This next expedition is set to double that level of media exposure, with numerous journalists keen to do follow up stories after the chocolate trip and a website that boasts 10,000 page impressions per week and commitments from four major TV broadcasters in the UK and internationally. "Plans for our next expedition have already appeared in the Sun newspaper (8” column + photo) and the Daily Mirror has agreed to run an exclusive feature when we announce our title sponsor".

| CE/PL003 | CLOUDCUCKOOLAND/OP PRODUCTION Cloudcuckooland is a music theatre comedy for kids and their families. It's riotous, funny and a touch irreverent, but carries a serious message about not messing up the planet. It's performed by six actor musicians who play twenty-two instruments between them; the musicianship is stunning and a great inspiration for kids. It was created in the Spring of 2008 with an initial one-off grant from the Onassis Programme and toured the UK, then played for a month at the Edinburgh Festival. It got excellent reviews, much feature coverage and was nominated for the Total Theatre Awards. The Observer picked it in its top seven pieces of theatre at the Edinburgh Festival from thousand of shows. Most importantly, for the company, it has fabulous feedback from kids, parents and teachers. The story follows an attempt by the birds to take revenge on humans for trashing their habitats. It features a gallery of beautiful and hilarious bird characters (the trombone-playing flamingo on stilts, and the trumpeting dodo with his zimmer frame) and culminates in the chickens trying to roast Gordon Brown for Sunday lunch unless he agrees to their climate change demands. The whole project aims to be ecologically sound and practice the message it preaches, but with with wit and humility. The company was helped in the creation of the show by a number of organisations, from the RSPB to the Carbon Trust. Many programmers from the UK and worldwide saw the show in Edinburgh and want to book it. One commented: 'I just wanted to say how impressed I was with Cloudcuckooland in Edinburgh. I thought it was unique, exciting and streets ahead of all the other children's shows at the Fringe'. The company would love to take the show to more kids around the UK and the world (together with a programme of workshops and participation events). However, they need a sponsor to be able to do that. They envisage this will be a company whose priorities are children getting involved in music and the arts and/or spreading a message of ecological responsibility in a fun way. The company can • Put the sponsors name and logo on all print, adverts, press releases, mailings, posters, etc. • distribute flyers/product samples with their mailings and at events • have display material in foyers • include adverts in their programme • host the sponsor's guests, with complementary tickets and entertainment opportunities • and be extremely grateful! The project is managed by Helen Eastman at OP Production Ltd.. Helen has a strong track record in producing and managing large scale arts events and UK and international touring. "We have raised a proportion of funds needed from donations (donors include Dame Judy Dench and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney) but need to secure £10,000 of sponsorship. We hope to find a great working relationship with a new sponsor". Further information, a selection of photos and reviews and examples of previous print and programmes are available on request.

| CE/PL006 |   LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY Lakes for Living, Lakes for Life is a first in the UK. It will bring together senior decision makers from all over the world to enjoy enthusiastic discussion of how those involved in business, the community and the environment can and should work together for the benefit of lake environments. The conference will be jointly hosted by the Environment Agency and Lake District National Park Authority in the perfect location of the Lake District National Park, England's largest National Park and home to the country's longest 'mere', Windermere, deepest water, Wastwater and tallest 'pike', Scafell. The venue for the event will be the four-star Low Wood Hotel, which occupies a privileged shoreline setting offering fine views across Lake Windermere. The organisers can offer potential sponsors an excellent platform to promote their organisation within this renowned location and stunning environment. The conference aims to bring together all those who work with lakes worldwide and contribute to the development of the network of practitioners across Europe and beyond. Over 150 senior decision makers and influencers are expected to attend from environmental, economic and community sectors associated with Lakeland access across the globe. Through workshops, site visits and key note speeches, the conference will deliver and collate the very best of experience and current practice. In addition, delegates will benefit from the chance to build networks with overseas colleagues and learn about their successes and experiences. Delegates taking part in the debate will come from worldwide organisations including the Living Lakes Network in Europe and beyond and the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) in the US and Canada, as well as a host of key UK environmental alliances including Natural England, The National Trust, the RSPB and the Forestry Commission. Together with the strong presence of organisations with an economic direction, such as Cumbria Tourism and the North West Development Agency, their combined experiences will enrich the conference and contribute to future worldwide lake management policy. The day programme includes energising and inspiring international presentations by key sector representatives. 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. Each destination catchment has its share of problems, attractions and opportunities. A programme of evening entertainment will add a lighter touch to the proceedings as delegates are invited to enjoy the company of new found friends and colleagues against the magnificent backdrop of the Lake District. "We will forge strong working relationships with all our sponsors to identify the potential synergies between our organisations and ensure our objectives are aligned and promoted effectively.

| CE/PL010 |  SKYSCHOOL AND ADVENTURE EXPEDITIONS Following the successful use of paramotors on a major scientific expedition by the Scientific Exploration Society in the Bolivian Amazonas during 2007, it is proposed to develop the concept of using paramotors and all terrain vehicles, working together on a series of scientific projects. A small team of experts have come together to plan the ventures and they consist of the following individuals: John Blashford Snell, Scientific Exploration Society; Alex Ledger, SkySchool Flight Centre; Alan Morton, Proactive TV. The first expedition is to Botswana and the aim is to research areas of scientific interest as well as support the local community. Proactive TV have agreed to film the expeditions with the aim of placing them on either Channel 4 or the Discovery Channel. The charity Just a Drop has also agreed to support the expedition. These expeditions are clearly advantageous for either a single main sponsor or a variety of different sponsors. "We therefore propose that interested parties should contact us to discuss the options available". Contact: Alex Ledger. Address: Rams Hill Farm, Manston, Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10 1HD.

| CE/0012 | MARGATE HARBOUR ARM This is an opportunity to sponsor a permanent seaside look-out point for the public in Margate, Kent. The sponsorship will reach a wide range of people: UK seaside holiday visitors, contemporary art gallery visitors and local people of all ages in Kent. Margate is a seaside town undergoing huge regeneration, including the Margate Harbour Arm project (www.margateharbourarm.co.uk) which has turned a derelict pier into a new attraction with high quality offerings. So far there is an art gallery, artists' studios, a cafe, an ice cream shop, a gift and jewellery shop and, hopefully very soon, a fish restaurant and two more retail units. Margate Harbour Arm is located directly next to the site where the David Chipperfield-designed Turner Contemporary Gallery is currently being built. The Turner Contemporary is expected to attract 120,000 visitors per year. The location has panoramic sea views, and the proposed project aims to connect the public with the marine environment. The aim is to create a look-out point at the end of the Harbour Arm which makes the most of the location and the experience of being surrounded by sea. Information panels will be created but they will not just be the usual photo-and-info. They will be high quality in terms of content, appearance and construction, to complement the Harbour Arm project and to sit comfortably alongside the regeneration and artistic environment being created in Margate. It is anticipated that a local artist/cartoonist will be involved to make them something special. Local naturalists and teachers will also be involved to focus on the important facts, in a way which is accessible to both adults and children. Given the location, the durability of the structures is going to be very important and options have been discussed with an engineer and structural glass expert. Ideally it will also be possible to provide a platform with binoculars. The budget for the project is unlikely to exceed £15,000 but the exact amount required will depend upon specification. One sponsor is sought. Contact: Dr Fiona Sherriff. Address: 1 Beach Houses, Royal Crescent, Margate CT9 5AL. Tel.: 07968 209047. Fax: 01843 292375.

| CE/0016 | RAINFOREST CONCERN The main objective of Rainforest Concern is to protect rainforests and the vast biological diversity of life they contain. At present the organisation has seven conservation projects in Costa Rica and Ecuador and works with local conservation organisations in these countries to purchase threatened rainforests for protection. The 800 hectare coastal forest reserve located on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast (and established in 1989 by the Endangered Wildlife Trust) is home to one of the most important nesting beaches for the leatherback turtle. The reserve offers protection for diverse and impressive wildlife in an area which has suffered greatly from the expansion of banana plantations. Rainforest Concern provides a volunteer programme between March and July which has attracted groups and individuals who assist in monitoring laying and hatching and protecting the beach. The organisation assists the communities living close to its projects by promoting environmental education programmes and encourage alternative forms of income generation to take the emphasis away from slash and burn agriculture. Rainforest Concern is currently seeking sponsorship support to enable it to continue and expand its work. Contact name: Fiona Dalrymple, Head of Fundraising and PR.

| CE/0018 | RECYCLING OPTIONS LIMITED Working with secondary schools across the country, Recycling Options aims to install a range of automatic recycling machines that receive, shred or crush and store used beverage containers. These machines are at the leading edge of technology and have an excellent record in the USA and Europe. Machines are often seen as expensive for current tight school budgets; however, the integral TV provides a platform for sponsors to run video tracks that educate and inform students (11-18 years old), whilst promoting appropriate services and products. The organisation's systems also enable schools and colleges to qualify for Eco-school and Green Flag status, amongst others. Vouchers or smartcard points are given for every deposit and these provide an opportunity for incentive programmes geared for all Key stages, as well as an involvement in PSHE projects. Points (with a value) may alternatively be allocated to selected charities. The recycling initiative will create a better place to work and play, reduce litter, increase recycling and help local and global environments. Dealing with waste at the point of arising will reduce carbon emissions, and is practical and sustainable. Sponsors are required from organisations or companies who wish to be associated with education, the environment and lifestyle best practice by supporting these installations, to facilitate regional groupings of colleges and schools through participation in incentive projects or providing material for TV programmes. There is currently positive intent from college groups in Manchester, Cheshire and the London Borough of Croydon. These groups are seen as excellent platforms for a national roll-out during 2007 which could lead to a national system. Contact: Bernard Stonestreet.

| CE/0022 | VENTNOR BOTANIC GARDEN Ventnor Botanic Garden is a free public open space that is committed to providing a facility for education, plant conservation and recreation. Within 22 acres of coastal garden on the southern side of the Isle of Wight, an extensive collection of more than 10,000 different species of plant, both native and exotic, represents a rich and genetically diverse display of considerable scientific interest. Much work is still to be done and the Friends of Ventnor Botanic Garden (registered charity no. 1080835) are looking to set up training programmes to encourage people into horticulture as a first career, or for those people who are changing career. The Friends have a policy of social inclusion and encourage people from all walks of life to participate in the development of the Garden. To realise many of their goals - notably to promote and encourage the use, enjoyment and development of the garden as well as assisting in the dissemination of knowledge of the plant kingdom - considerable sponsorship is required. Potential for partnerships is a major opportunity. Contact name: Simon Goodenough, Curator. Address: Ventnor Botanic Garden, Undercliff Drive, Ventnor, Isle of Wight PO38 1UL. Tel.: 01983 855397.
