      3     IDEAS FOR
            SPONSORSHIP OF


            YOUR REGIONAL


            EVENT


            Holding regional events may require support in the
            way of funding to help with the success of the event.
            Sponsorship may be required to help with:
             •  Venue hire
             •  Catering
             •  Guest speakers

            There are three ways to apply for funding. All of these
            require good planning well in advance, to ensure funds
            are secured and recognition can be included in relevant
            promotional material. Using the annual plan will help to
            map out your year of events.



            NETWORK PARTNERS
            We want to encourage Network Partners to be present
            at events and support in content delivery or in other
            ways that are suitable. This will provide increased profile
            and demonstrate support in your region.
            Planning is crucial:
             •  Build a relationship with all your Network Partner
               contacts.
             •  Some provide guidelines on the timeframes they
               need to provide sponsorship.
             •  Network Partner Funding should be applied for
               through the Regional Group Funding Application
               form, not by direct contact with our Network Partners.
