| CR/PL001 |  CALEDONIAN CHALLENGE: SCOTTISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION The Caledonian Challenge is Scotland's premier outdoor team ultra-challenge event. The challenge is for teams of four people to complete fifty-four miles within 24 hours, whilst raising funds for the Scottish Community Foundation to help strengthen local communities. The epic journey will take participants through some of the UK's most remote, rugged and stunningly beautiful landscapes. In just one day, participants will experience majestic views of Ben Nevis - the UK's highest mountain, the splendour of Glen Coe, the wilds of Rannoch Moor and the scenic Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. The Caledonian Challenge was founded in 1996. Since then, more than 12,000 people have successfully taken part and raised over £8 million to support the work of the Scottish Community Foundation. The organisers will work closely with sponsors to leverage their sponsorship of the Caledonian Challenge. They can also offer a range of benefits for the sponsor's association with the event, including • 1,000,000-3,000,000 OTS for the sponsor alone - for title sponsors, the event generated 16,000,000 OTS alone in 2008 • sponsorship worth up to £60,000 in AVE from PR campaign • access to a customer base worth up to £450,000 in potential sales • brand exposure to over 1,000,000 website visitors per year • brand exposure to over 200 high ranking companies who are entering participants into the Caledonian Challenge • brand exposure to over 25,000 sponsors who donate funds to the participants in the Caledonian Challenge • branded acknowledgement in The Scotsman supplement going out to 55,000 people • demonstration of the sponsoring company's corporate social responsibility by supporting local community life • opportunities to product sample with over 2,000 people on the Caledonian Challenge • promotion to over 2,000 people with a demonstrable interest in outdoor sports and activities. This list is by no means exhaustive and the organisers can tailor a sponsorship package to suit the sponsor's needs and requirements, resulting in benefits that will postitively impact on the sponsoring company's brand image and equity. "This is your chance to support Scotland's premier outdoor team ultra-challenge in aid of charity". Contact: Stuart Moffat, Events Marketing Executive.

| CR/PL002 | DODWORTH MINERS MEMORIAL FUND The Dodworth & District Miners Memorial Fund was proposed to "procure, provide and maintain a memorial which could act as a focal point in the village of Dodworth, Barnsley to coal miners killed or injured in the surrounding areas from 1850 to the present day". Various continuing 'awareness events' are being proposed to highlight the construction of the memorial including canoeing, paragliding, sporting and other expeditionary events. This is a unique opportunity to record our rich social mining history and heritage for others to learn from. The surrounding mines supplied coal to the great industries on which our country was built - coal that heated our homes and powered our railways and our navy's ships which were used to discover the British Empire. All donations will be gratefully received and should be paid direct to the 'Dodworth & District Miners Memorial Fund' holding account by electronic transfer. • Account details: Dodworth & District Miners Memorial Fund. • Sort code: 11-00-23. • Account number: 01834551. Donations can be made at any Halifax Bank over the counter, using the sort code, account number and recipient details supplied. Contact: Richard G. Jessop. E-mail: Jessjessop2003@yahoo.co.uk.

| CR/0001 | AXMINSTER & DISTRICT CHORAL SOCIETY Axminster & District Choral Society is one of the West of England's largest choirs at about 80 strong. It has earned a highly respected reputation for its twice yearly concerts of major classical works. It is now in its twenty-first year, and will in 2007 perform Verdi's Requiem in April, followed by Beethoven's Mass in C and Haydn's St Nicholas Mass at Christmas. Sadly, this ambitious programme can only be sustained by continuous fund-raising efforts. The Choir's problem is that the cost of hiring the orchestra, the solo singers and the Director has escalated in the last few years to the extent that performances are loss-making. Bearing in mind that the choir serves a community with a very high percentage of OAPs, the option to raise ticket prices is limited. Membership fees have been raised every two years, but members, too, are largely restricted in what they can afford. This Choir, which is a valuable community asset to East Devon, urgently needs generous outside support if it is to continue. "Thank you in anticipation". Contact: Tim Frost.

| CR/0002 | THE BIG ISSUE IN SCOTLAND With its unique distribution, The Big Issue in Scotland's boast is that no other Scottish magazine can compete with it geographically. With a circulation of 33,755 and a weekly average issue readership of 177,000, its award-winning, hard-hitting journalism targets readers who are young, affluent, urban and socially aware. Why sponsorship? There is no better way of optimising brand awareness, they say, and bringing a company to the forefront of consumers’ minds. Permanent platforms in the magazine such as Big Week, Crossword, Your Issues, Txt Ur Views, International Global Update and Vendor of the Week can provide sponsors with flexible, cost-effective and highly-targeted access to the publication's readership. Package costs: 12 months £9,000; 6 months £5,000; 3 months £3,000. Bonus: banner on the publication's website; magazine subscription during sponsorship period; promotional activity on Big Screen in Glasgow – seen by 1.2 million every week. * Please note that the above rates do not include Big Week (prices available on request).

| CR/0003 | BIRMINGHAM NORTH CITY TENNIS CLUB Birmingham North City Tennis Club is an inner city no-profit tennis club, based in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, whose members come from a mix of ethnic backgrounds. The club was launched in 2005 through grants by partners including the local council; but the club is now not going to be funded after August. The club has been producing players who have been successful in playing and winning tournaments against more established clubs both in team and individual events. More than this they have been seeing children become more positive people - and also becoming fitter. The club meets all the criteria that the government has said that they would like to see for children in such organisations. Despite this, Birmingham Nortn City Tennis Club is in danger of going under as it does not receive support. "It takes approximately £40,000 annually to run the club and we would like sponsorship for at least three years, after which time we are aiming to be able to sustain ourselves".

| CR/0008 | FALKIRK & DISTRICT CVS CVS Falkirk and District’s key aim is to support, develop and represent voluntary sector organisations in order to ensure that they participate positively in the planning and delivery of high quality, high impact services to individuals and communities within the Falkirk area. Its work is driven by honesty, openness and respect for both individuals and communities with whom it works, which involves its support of individuals, activists and groups, many of whom are the most disadvantaged within society. As a result of the organisation's support these cohorts experience increased capacity, enhanced confidence and an increased ability to advise and influence others. Partnerships within the local area result in direct influence within Community Planning and Community Education frameworks and also play a specific role within the development of the local Social Inclusion Strategy. Falkirk & District CVS's current strategic aim is to secure sustainable premises for its organisation, which currently accommodates a significant number of additional organisations that support, advise and assist the most disadvantaged members of the community. As a consequence, the charity is seeking donations and sponsorship to allow it to purchase and develop premises in the centre of Falkirk which will ensure that they continue to offer crucial services to people most marginalised within society in an accessible location.

| CR/0013 | ruralnet|uk ruralnet|uk is a rural regeneration charity, with the overall goal of promoting a living and working countryside by helping local communities develop sustainable economies. It does this through research, information transfer and projects that put ideas into practise. Much of its work concerns the appropriate use of ICTs. It uses ICTs to ensure that information reaches those that need it, that networks are developed and supported and that projects achieve their full potential. Sponsoring the annual ruralnet|uk conference is an excellent opportunity to reach a diverse range of people from government ministers, to rural agency and community development workers. The 2007 Conference Rural Communities - Whose Job is it Anyway? conference (10th/11th October at The Belfry), saw the launch of the Rural Community Carbon Network (RCCN). This exciting new initiative is raising the awareness of the collective actions that rural communities can take in response to the climate change challenge. The charity is currently seeking support and sponsorship for the RCCN and is keen to hear from any interested parties. Further information is available on their website.

| CR/0015 | TEN EM BEE SPORTS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE Ten Em Bee is a five acre modern facility situated in South London which caters for a number of sports. In addition to playing surfaces there are floodlights, changing rooms, a kitchen area and a large classroom. Mission statement:- "Ten Em Bee Sports Development Centre provides sporting opportunity for young people in an atmosphere where 'playing the game' will be a rewarding experience that will remain for life. A place of education where learning, training and personal development, standards and loyalty are valued". In partnership with a local college of higher education, the club has initiated a sport scholarship scheme. School leavers with sporting potential sign on at the college for the course of their choice. Immediately after leaving secondary school, their sporting education commences, with training and coaching three days a week. During term time additional coaching and training is provided for up to twelve hours a week. Competitive matches are played at the highest level available locally. Sport is the bait that attracts the child to education and the hook that ensures his/her continuance! In addition to academic and sporting education, emphasis is placed on social, physical and psychological development. Mentoring and career advice is available. Students are required to obtain coaching awards - when qualified they use their expertise for the benefit of local children. Support is required to develop this educational (in its widest sense) opportunity. "Our 'scholarship' scheme works!" they tell us. Support is received from a local college and Inner London Council. Partnership with Ten Em Bee guarantees links with a college, local council and the possibility of hoarding advertisments at the registered charity's facility and a local stadium. Sponsors would be seen to be supporting government initiatives and playing a major part in the education and physical development of children in South London. Contact: Tony Davis.
