+Sponsorship @Messrs G Owen & Co 1 We need help to keep the web site(s) @ Messrs G Owen

& Co moving forward!

It takes a lot of time, commitment and money to continue to update this site alone with over 191+ web pages needed material FREE for the asking! This excludes the work of material to download and thousands of hyperlinks to a vast array of relevant sources/resources from our main site. Service Users can help in three simple and easy ways.

Firstly, becoming an annual sponsor of our web site with a contribution of only £25.00 payable before downloading ANY material. To fail to make payment deprives future development for Voluntary Groups and penalises small organisations/groups it is imperative that Service Users of our web site(s) help us to help to enable us to help the wider voluntary sector!

+Sponsorship @Messrs G Owen & Co 2 Secondly, in addition, or alternative, Service Users can

sponsor a web page, (dedicated to their concern, with logo depicted at the top left hand box, promoting services or products linked to a host of search engines and therefore locatable not just by people who specifically visit this site, but by users of the Internet as a whole.

Thirdly, by spreading the word about our web site(s), to every Organisation/Group staff person they have ever talked to as well as to other Voluntary Sector/non-for-profit bodies that need help!

+Sponsorship @ Messrs G Owen & Co 3

In recognition of the direct kind support and to reciprocate the same, acknowledgement of this will be accorded in our extensive publicity material and in Press Releases, plus Web site(s), (of which we have no less than eight), and web pages, (of which there are over 191+ on this site alone), which would provide a excellent high profile and good customer relations for sponsor(s) alone. Added to this will undoubtedly be the excellent publicity/public relations this would create for sponsor(s), coupled with the interest it would continue to create on the part of other sources/companies involved, which, in the past has precipitated business for companies who have supported us and would potentially continue to be of value in terms of future business.


It cannot be stressed enough that the kind contribution would not only be deeply appreciated but will go towards a very good and worthwhile cause once again, PLEASE...PLEASE SUPPORT!! Just the help with the provision of the some or all of the sponsorship would make a significant difference and valued contribution long remembered making this small contribution a longer term investment rather than an expense.

We can but once more only hope that prospective sponsor(s) will feel able to help in some way in relation to the above in support of this invaluable work, (targeted at new, small, and emerging voluntary/charitable organisations/groups), if only as a goodwill/customer relations exercise. The added benefit to sponsor(s) of this work with the aid of the resources sought would provide advertising for prospective sponsor(s) as well, which would positively promote their business/body.
