W e pride ourselves on delivering a small number of very high quality events throughout the year. Each event gives us a fantastic opportunity to raise funds but also raise awareness of our cause. As well as their support for us, many businesses also use it as a chance to bring clients to network in a more informal setting.

We have put together a number of packages to align with your business objectives, no matter what your target audience. We are also very keen to work with you on putting together a bespoke sponsorship package that fits with your CSR and business objectives so the below are very much a guide to open a discussion. Our events are fairly informal and as a sponsor you can be as involved as you want with the formalities and prize presentation at each.

The funds raised from our events enable our students to enjoy experiences many of us take for granted.

Overview

Seashell Trust has held an annual charity ball for the past 21 years, at which we enjoy the support of up to 300 guests made up of both local high net worth individuals and a number of local and national corporates. This year Seashell is ringing the changes by introducing a Strictly Come Dancing style element to proceedings. The event will be one of the first to take place at the brand new Rolls Royce showroom in Wilmslow.

The Event

Seashell is recruiting amateur dancers from the business community; people who are at the top of their game in the world of work will undertake 8 weeks of dance lessons to learn one dance which they will perform on the night, competing against their peers. Starting with a drinks reception at 7pm followed by a four course dinner, guests will not only watch all of the performances, but will have a chance to vote for their ‘People’s Champion’.

The Audience

Around 70% of our tables are taken by corporates from recruitment, construction and property, financial services, law and the motor industries including Mazars, Deloitte, Bentley and Wilmott Dixon. The remaining 30% are high net worth individuals who support us by bringing their peers, contacts, friends and clients as guests.
