FOOTBALL FOR FANS LIMITED
Sponsorship opportunities are available for sponsors who would like to be associated with a recently formed football company which specialises in dream-come-true experiences for football fans everywhere (adults and children) and footballers at grassroots level. These opportunities will also appeal to sponsors who would like an association with the nation's Number 1 sport, not to mention its global appeal; and, at a time when there is such focus on obesity, to those who are seeking a link with a concept which encourages children - and adults - to live a healthy lifestyle by playing football. The concept has been tried and tested very successfully at a top venue and other venues are now being sought to expand the business. The adults' and children's events at the Premier League club are sold out months in advance, where the opportunity is also taken to raise money for charity. The company enjoys a very good relationship with The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and looks to raise money for this most worthwhile of charities, as well other deserving causes, at all its events. Whilst the stadium experiences form the "core" of the business, the company has also successfully staged other events, such as theatre shows, where fans get the chance to meet former idols of the game and listen to stories of their football careers as well as interact in question and answer sessions. Currently there are other exciting events in the pipeline and one in particular which will be certain to receive excellent local media, and possibly TV, coverage. The signs of growth for this young company are excellent and sponsorship is considered very important as the company looks to expand and fully realise its potential and nationwide aspirations.

THE VAUGHAN SPORTS FOUNDATION
The Vaughan Sports Foundation, based in west London, was established in November 2007 with the aim of addressing the decline in extra-curricular sporting activities in schools and to promote community sport in healthy recreation within the Greater London area. The Foundation's vision is to enable young people from a variety of backgrounds to use sports as a means of development and to build confidence, to improve health and to further their educational opportunities. The Foundation was set up in partnership with the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, an inner London comprehensive. The Foundation is based in north Kensington, recognised as an area of social deprivation. In the borough itself, 46% of children do not have English as their first language. The trustees acknowledge that participation in sport can be one of the major factors in breaking down barriers to inclusion for children. Participation in sport is also known to have a positive impact on academic performance, as recognised by Ofsted. There is also a need to address the growing prevalence of obesity in young children. If present trends continue, by 2020 one in three adults, one in five boys and one in three girls will be clinically obese. Such sporting opportunities can provide solutions to the problem of health, education and social development and enable the local youth to participate in society as mature and responsible adults. The Foundation sets out to extend provision of extra-curricular courses and activities for young people. Participants will be coached in a range of sports, fitness training and leadership skills. They have established a varied programme of sporting activities for young people during the school holidays, run in partnership with governing bodies such as the RFU and FA and other sporting institutions. The Foundation also intends to provide opportunities to participants to acquire coaching qualifications themselves so that they gain the confidence and skills needed to organise and supervise sports activities and competition in the local communities. It is hoping to add rowing and fencing to the list of options. Involvement in sports, particularly within a structured environment, is a fun and constructive way for young people to use their spare time, find new friends and obtain new skills. By taking part, young people will acquire a sense of achievement and self esteem - and realise that they can set goals and challenges and reach them. The Foundation's ambition is that all young people who benefit from its activities will raise their aspirations so that sport and healthy activities become part of the fabric of their lives.

GREAT SCOTTISH WALKS
The Great Scottish Walks is now entering its eleventh year. Simultaneously supporting healthy living, these annual events offer the public the opportunity to be actively involved in beneficial health activities, community events and charitable fundraising, regardless of fitness and physical ability. Inclusivity is one of the keys to the event's continued success, promoted to all sections of the community, particularly encouraging groups, teams and families to walk. Originally, the Edinburgh event attracted approximately 2,000 walkers in aid of two charities. Now over 5,000 walkers of all ages participate, raising in excess of £1,000,000 for over 200 charities and leading to the launch of a Glasgow Great Walk in 2008. Introduced in 2004, the Great Wee Scottish Walks are locally focused events aimed at a younger audience and geographically placed to compliment the national walks. This year has seen an expansion of the number and activities of the Wee Walks, bringing the grand total to eight. Designed to engage children up to sixteen years old - an extension of the usual age limit of eleven years - the eight walks actively encourage young people to participate in physical activities, working to eliminate childhood obesity and other health problems, as well as promoting healthy living as a whole. Through sponsorship of the Great Scottish Walks and Great Wee Scottish Walks, an exciting opportunity is presented to promote the sponsor's company to a range of demographics, at ten walking events across Scotland. Those present will include a number of UK charities, fundraisers of all ages, physical ability and fitness levels, as well as local and national media. "We have a range of sponsorship opportunities to suit all budgets, including general sponsorship opportunities, trophy sponsorship, company mascots, etc. - and are happy to discuss and develop a package best suited to you".
