How can you help?

We are asking for your help to make the celebration evening a resounding success. Specifically, we are seeking either individuals or local businesses to help us showcase how valued our young people are. Individuals and/or businesses could help by sponsoring a specific award and/or by contributing to the evening itself: decorations, catering or certificate printing, to name a few examples.

We intend to recognise students in a wide range of categories and are therefore seeking donations of £25 to support each award as well as helping us to cover the cost of running the evening. If you feel your business is aligned with our key values of Kindness, Aspiration, Perseverance and Pride, we would love to hear from you.

In return for your donation, we can offer:

Your business name and details published in the event programme.
Recognition of your support shared on our social media pages.
Coverage of the night in the local newspaper.
The opportunity for you to attend the evening as a VIP.
If you, or your business, can help please do not hesitate to get in contact with us.
