Considerations Gambling evenings open to public must have no cash winnings – winning chips instead which can be exchanged for prizes.

People must understand the purpose behind the fundraising.

Run a bar to boost profits but make sure you have a license or apply for one well in advance.

Your lottery may have to be registered with you Local Authority.

Introduction Successful sponsorship is a process that is mutually beneficial with our club receiving the sponsor’s support or input and the sponsor benefiting from the publicity of the aforementioned support. There are many guises that sponsorship takes for example, charitable donations, corporate hospitality etc however, this guide will specifically look at the input of cash, products or services in return for specific benefits.

Why Companies Sponsor? Sponsorship is not necessarily a philanthropy, the one common aim is the promotion of their own good name. Football is a high profile activity which attracts massive public interest and receives substantial media coverage – both national and local. A large number of companies see it as comparable to advertising whilst others suggest that it performs a broader promotional function, which pure advertising cannot do and so represents better value for money in media terms.
