6 Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities That Can Make a Difference in Thanet and Kent
Are you looking for a meaningful way for your business to support the local community?
Corporate sponsorship can do much more than place your company logo on promotional material. The right partnership can create new opportunities, reduce isolation and help local people build confidence, friendships and greater independence.
At It’s Your Choice Activities, we provide welcoming, choice-led activities for adults with learning disabilities, autism and additional needs across Thanet and Kent. We support more than 120 adults each year through regular activities, inclusive sport, community events and shared experiences.
Our flexible corporate sponsorship opportunities allow businesses of different sizes to choose the type of impact they want to make. Bespoke partnerships are also available for organisations with particular community, environmental, social and governance, or corporate social responsibility objectives.
Here are six ways your business can get involved.
1. Weekly Activity Sponsorship
Sponsorship starts from £500.
Our inclusive weekly sessions give adults the opportunity to learn, socialise, develop skills and enjoy meaningful activities in a supportive environment.
Activities can include cooking, arts and crafts, games, sport, music and practical life skills. Every session is designed to encourage participation while recognising that each person has different interests, abilities and support needs.
Becoming a Weekly Activity Sponsor can help cover:
- Activity materials and supplies
- Accessible equipment
- Session delivery costs
- Creative and practical resources
- Opportunities to introduce new activities
This is an excellent option for a local business that wants to make a direct and visible contribution without committing to a larger annual partnership.
Your support helps us continue creating a place where people feel included, valued and able to take part.
2. Inclusive Sport Sponsorship
Sponsorship starts from £750.
Sport and physical activity can support confidence, wellbeing, coordination and social connection. However, inaccessible facilities, equipment costs and a lack of suitable coaching can prevent adults with additional needs from participating.
Our Inclusive Sport Sponsorship opportunity helps fund:
- Specialist and inclusive coaching
- Accessible sporting equipment
- Venue and delivery costs
- Free or affordable participation
- New sporting opportunities
It’s Your Choice Activities already delivers inclusive physical activities with specialist partners. Sponsorship enables us to protect existing opportunities while reaching more people across the community.
This option could be particularly relevant to gyms, sports clubs, healthcare organisations and businesses that want to promote physical and emotional wellbeing.
3. Community Event Sponsorship
Sponsorship starts from £1,500.
Community events bring people together, create lasting memories and give adults with additional needs an opportunity to feel part of something special.
A business can sponsor a celebration, activity day, community fair, awards evening or another inclusive local event.
Your sponsorship could support:
- Accessible venues
- Entertainment and activities
- Catering and refreshments
- Equipment and decorations
- Staffing and event organisation
- Promotion within the local community
Community Event Sponsorship can also give your employees a cause to celebrate and champion. Where appropriate, there may be opportunities for staff to volunteer or become involved in the event.
It is a meaningful way to connect your business with local families, care providers and community organisations while helping to create a genuinely inclusive occasion.
4. Community Experiences Sponsorship
Sponsorship starts from £2,500.
A trip, day out or new experience can have an impact that lasts well beyond the day itself.
Community experiences can introduce people to new places, build confidence outside familiar surroundings and encourage friendships through shared memories. Unfortunately, the cost of transport, tickets and additional support can make these opportunities difficult to provide.
Community Experiences Sponsorship can help fund:
- Accessible transport
- Entry tickets
- Group trips and days out
- Additional staffing or support
- Food and activity costs
- Memorable shared experiences
By sponsoring a community experience, your business can help adults access opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable to them.
This is not simply about funding a day out. It is about supporting confidence, participation and a stronger sense of belonging.
5. Outreach Partnership
Bespoke sponsorship packages are available.
Not everyone who could benefit from our activities knows that support is available. Others may experience practical, financial or social barriers that make it difficult to participate.
An Outreach Partnership can help It’s Your Choice Activities connect with more adults, families, carers, SEN schools, care homes and support organisations throughout Thanet and the wider Kent community.
A bespoke outreach partnership could support:
- Community engagement
- Promotional and accessible information
- Outreach sessions
- Partnerships with local organisations
- New projects in underserved areas
- Work that reduces barriers to participation
Because this opportunity is tailored to the sponsor, we can discuss your organisation’s objectives and identify a project that creates relevant, measurable local value.
This can be particularly valuable for larger employers, housing providers, professional services firms and organisations with established social-value commitments.
6. Headline Corporate Partnership
Partnerships start from £5,000.
A Headline Corporate Partnership is designed for businesses that want to build a substantial, year-round relationship with It’s Your Choice Activities.
Rather than supporting one individual session or event, your organisation can help create ongoing opportunities with agreed aims and measurable community impact.
A headline partnership could include support for:
- Regular inclusive activities
- Community events and experiences
- New equipment and resources
- Outreach across Thanet and Kent
- Programme development
- Long-term organisational stability
We can work with your business to establish suitable outcomes and provide credible updates that can support stakeholder communication and social-value reporting, subject to appropriate permissions.
This option gives employees a shared cause to support and allows the partnership to develop into a genuine relationship with the local community.
Why Sponsor It’s Your Choice Activities?
A partnership with It’s Your Choice Activities benefits more than the people attending our sessions.
It can help your business:
- Demonstrate authentic corporate social responsibility
- Create measurable social value in Thanet and Kent

- Share meaningful impact stories with customers and stakeholders
- Support inclusion for adults with learning disabilities and additional needs
Most importantly, your support contributes to activities and experiences that reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and help people feel connected to their community.
