To help us with these two thrilling productions, The Mill warmly invites you to become a sponsor. In return we can offer a range of first class benefits (see list below) for you or your company.

| AV/PL005 |  THE PIERIAN CENTRE The Pierian Centre is housed in a gracious, Grade 1 listed Georgian Square, lovingly restored to provide a learning environment that supports the learning process and where the organisation takes care of everyone who walks through the door. As well as being a conference/meetings facility, the Centre hosts a wide variety of courses and activities. It regularly participates in Doors Open Day, Refugee Week, art exhibitions, musicians' forums and other public events and has had a footfall of 45,000 in 4.5 years. This is contributing to the regeneration of St Pauls in many ways. People who would otherwise not come to the area visit the Centre for courses. They pass the word round about some of the public activities. They change their own perceptions of St Pauls and then encourage others to do so. St Pauls has a high refugee population, and a cultural mix of artists and musicians with whom the Centre works collaboratively. The Centre also works with local organisations, some of whom are community focused and others of whom are businesses generating economic growth in the area. The Centre offers sponsors a range of benefits, which can include • listing in its programme (2,500 are distributed every quarter) • invitations to a fantastic selection of activities including private views and book launches • the knowledge that they are supporting a business with increasing importance in St Pauls and its regeneration • and "something that they would like which we have not thought of?!" Contact: June Burrough, Founder and Director. Address: The Pierian Centre, 27 Portland Square, St Pauls, Bristol BS2 8SA. Tel.: 0117 9244512. Fax: 0117 9421178.

| AV/0014 | UNTOLD DESIGN CIC Untold Design CIC is a not for profit Community Interest Company which provides affordable showcasing opportunities for new and emerging designers to introduce themselves to press, media and buyers within the fashion industry. It also creates opportunities for designers and creatives to subsist themselves in the early stages of their careers at consumer events where they are able to meet with potential customers, build an awareness of their brand and sell to clients. The ethos of Untold is to work as a collective through which a cyclical programme of support and assistance is made available, with the aim of building a long-lasting legacy for new designers and creatives. 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".
