19. Enter Awards
Entering awards is a great way to put the spotlight on your organisation and the people within it. Whether it’s business awards, volunteer awards, community spirit awards or something else, simply by entering you are saying to the community ‘we believe we are good at what we do, and we are prepared to stand up to scrutiny’.
The awards themselves always bring a degree of publicity, so make sure you piggy-back on that publicity and tell your own story about why you are entering. Whether you win or not, your willingness to be scrutinised brings valuable credibility.
To find awards offered in your region check with your local council and Chamber of Commerce.

Toolbox Tuesday - Join a Business Networking Group
6. Join a Business Networking Group
If you want to meet potential sponsors, you need to go where potential sponsors hang out. A business networking group allows you to meet face-to-face with potential supporters, and gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with them before you ask for support. It’s much harder for potential sponsors to say NO to a friend – and a business networking group is where friendships are made.
There are plenty of business networking groups to choose from, but a good place to start is by phoning your local Chamber of Commerce.
