Sponsorship opportunities
We welcome setting up partnerships with businesses and organisations to support community events and initiatives.
The Sponsorship Policy sets out how we manage sponsorship opportunities in a transparent, ethical, and consistent way, creating mutually beneficial sponsorship agreements that deliver value for both the Council and our partners.
The Policy will enable a consistent and professional corporate approach when considering opportunities for sponsorship of Council properties, events, services and other activities.
Our key principles
Our principles are to:
- align sponsorship with Council values and strategic priorities
- protect the Council’s reputation and ensure compliance with legislation
- maintain transparency, accountability, and best value
- avoid conflicts of interest and inappropriate partnerships
What the policy includes
Our policy explains:
- what sponsorship is (and how it differs from donations, grants, and advertising)
- approval processes and risk management requirements
- restrictions on sponsorship from organisations linked to illegal activity, political groups, tobacco, gambling, adult entertainment, or any that conflict with Council values
- guidelines for recognition, branding, and communications
If you're interested in sponsorship relating to Council activity, read our full Sponsorship Policy.
Available opportunities
We will publish opportunities on this page.
All sponsorship agreements must be in writing, follow procurement rules, and be recorded in the Council’s Sponsorship Register.
Acceptance of sponsorship does not imply endorsement of a sponsor’s products or services.
