Funding for Side by Side
Funding is vital to ensure the continuing success of Side by Side. The costs involved in just running the group from week to week as well putting on our productions means we are constantly seeking to attract more financial support. The company receives no regular income, government support or grants, so contributions are particularly valuable in ensuring our weekly operations. A great way for you to help is to become a 'Friend' or a 'Sponsor' of the company, or to simply Donate to us when you can.
Become a Sponsor
The Sponsorship programme offers organisations and individuals a range of benefits, dependent on their contribution. Sponsorship is usually set around £1,000. That figure is negotiable, as what helps us most is a long-term commitment.
The benefits to you can expect include:
-
Acknowledgement in the main show programme.
-
Free tickets to the annual show and VIP reception.
-
Your organisation's name featured prominently on our website and marketing materials as a major supporter.
-
Side by Side shows attract a lot of publicity, where appropriate we ensure our sponsors are associated with our activities.
Meet Our Friends

If you know of a local business that would like to offer some support to a very worthwhile local charity then please get in touch. Your company or business could be involved in our very next production.
