Norfolk based charity BUILD provides social, leisure and learning opportunities to young people and adults with disabilities, and has done so since 1967. To meet the challenges of changes in public sector funding, and a decrease in charitable income, it is planning a series of community based fundraising activities this year and is looking for commercial partners.
An opportunity exists for a partner to support a group of UEA Medical Students planning a five a side football match which will last for over 43 hours in September 2013 to re-write the Guinness World Record. Underlying sponsorship is required to fund the requirements (set by Guinness) to film the action, and fund referees and appropriately qualified time-keeper’s fees, as well as the welfare support systems required for such an endurance activity.
Sponsors will have the opportunity to be associated with the record attempt, the pre-event media launch and marketing activity, and the post event reception, as well as accessing BUILD’s employee shadowing programme which provides muitual staff development opportunities.
The sum of around £2,500 is being sought to underwrite the event, so that all money raised by the players and supporters can go directly to the charity, and its beneficiaries.
If you are interested in further discussions about this, or other opportunities for partnership working with BUILD Charity, please call the Chief Executive, James Kearns on 01603 618029 or e mail [email protected].
