Sponsorship

What better way could you publicise your interest in working with the community as well as promoting an active and healthy lifestyle?
Benefits to being a sponsor:

  • Online exposure for charitable work by your business
  • Increased local community awareness
  • Recognition as a leader in the community
  • Press and media releases.
What could I sponsor?

You could help us develop a local junior team by providing a team kit.

You could provide in kind contributions such as a free coach to enable the children to be taken away from their estates and play sports matches against other communities or visit places of interest.

You could help us by providing food and refreshments for our healthy eating projects where we encourage young people to try new foods and teach them about making healthy choices.

We can also match fund any donations from businesses so your donation can really make a difference.

Here is what one sponsor said about their involvement: -

Leave a Legacy

These gifts can do make a huge difference to the communities we work in.
We are grateful for the generosity of any donors who fund our work.
Many of the young people we work with have overcome problems, gained confidence and taken control of their lives as a direct result from working within the community.

Please consider leaving this long lasting gift to CUP and help us realise the potential of so many more young people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access leisure activities and could fall into a life that spirals out of control.

Partners


C.U.P. recognises that social & economic regeneration at the community level is wider than those issues tackled by C.U.P., establishing working partnerships with statutory and voluntary agencies is actively pursued. Below is a list of some of our partners who support us in various ways by providing Funding, facilities, advice and training:

  • Kirklees Young Peoples Service - Click here to visit website

  • Housing Services

    Gerry Beamond, Kirklees Housing Services Manager said “ We have seen on all the estates where CUP works, a reduction in the amount of vandalism and anti social behaviour and a growth in self esteem amoungst not only the youngsters but also their parents, some of whom have gone on to act as volunteers or have proceeded to gain coaching qualifications.”

  • Youth Offending Team - Click here to visit website

    David Kay, Kirklees Youth Offending Team Leader said “Kirklees Youth Offending Team works with young people aged 10 – 17 years who have offended or are at risk of offending. Research and experience shows that someof the most effective ways of working with young people to prevent offending is through methods that involve young people in the communities in which they live. Your project provides this.”

  • West Yorkshire Police - Click here to visit website

    Inspector Mark Broadhead, Community Safety Department, West Yorkshire Police said “ From the police perspective, the work of Communities United Project is invaluablein diverting youths away from crime, disorder, drugs and anti-social behaviour. Whilst engaged in meaningful activities a good community spirit is engendered and in that respect crime and anti-social behaviour levels have been reduced where Communities United Projects have taken place.”

  • Kirklees Federation Of Tenants & Residents Association - Click here to visit website

    Cora Carter MBE, national Federation of Tenants and Residents Association said “I have seen at first hand some of the work you have done and certainly feel CUP has made a real impact on the estate, particularly in engaging those young people who are not involved in any strucured activity outside of school, some whom are in danger of drifting into criminal activity. Also, the support and resouces given to local residents in order to enable them to provide accessible activities to local young people, has helped to build better relationships within the community.”

  • Local Schools

    Bridgette – Rawthorpe High School – add quote – (still to come)

    Mrs J Hannon, Headteacher at Cowlersley Junior Infant School said “ The project has gone a long way to empowering some of the adults in the community to lead the project, as well as improving the relationships between adults and young people. The involvement of other agencies like housing, community development and the police has also had a beneficial effect in the wider community.”

  • Huddersfield Pride - Click here to visit website

    Portia Popham Roberts, Regeneration Manager , Huddersfield pride said “CUP represents exactly what regeraration should be about! Lesley and Paul work with real communities encouraging them to believe in their own abilities. CUP is about more than football, it’s about strengthening relationships in communities and people who already know what the needs of their area are. They don’t need a ‘professional’ to come in and tell them what to do, but support in how to do it”
