There are a number of ways to engage with our campaign and a range of differing sponsorship opportunities.
Team Posters
Our sponsorship rates start at just £1,000 to sponsor a football club poster/event of your choice.
Your logo will be featured on all printed copies of the poster and you will receive 5,000 copies for your own distribution. You will be invited to send a representative along to the event to sit on a panel with current and professional footballers to discuss the issue of racism with young people from the local area.
There is no limit to the number of posters/events you can sponsor and we offer discounts on sponsorship packages of 5, 10 or more posters/events.

Sponsorship would entitle you to your logo on the poster and free copies for your own distribution.
Sponsorship rates are as follows:

- £1,500 - 8,000 England posters.
- £2,000 - 12,000 England posters.
- £3,000 - 20,000 England posters.
At the launch events we will invite young people from local schools and Prize Winners from our National Anti-Racism School Competition to the football clubs for an educational workshop, screen a copy of our DVD and invite the ex-England internationals, along with current players from the club, to participate in a short question and answer session on racism, with the questions coming from the young people in the audience.
We have found that these events can have a great imapct on the audience. The use of professional footballers in this setting helps connect young people with the anti-racist message and with the personal experiences and advice of footballers, with regards to racism. Through a question and answer session where the young people ask the questions, the audience get a personal experience of their own, which we think strengthens the message further.
There is also opportunity to sponsor a launch event at a cost of £1,000.
