Accolades

Low-cost Sponsorship with a Host of Benefits

There are a number of reasons why sponsorship of the Social Care Accolades makes good business sense.

High-profile

The awards are recognised by the social care profession as the pinnacle of achievement for any organisation or team that provides services for vulnerable people in Wales. This means there is high awareness of the Accolades among the 88,000 workers in the sector, their employers, the 150,000 people receiving care, as well as decision-makers involved in any aspect of social care.

Access to opinion leaders and decision-makers

The awards ceremony is attended by a significant number of key decision-makers from the social care sector in Wales, including:

  • Senior Welsh Assembly Government officials, including the Director of Social Services
  • Local authority Directors of Social Services
  • Local councillors with responsibility for social services
  • Heads of national care organizations
  • Managers of care establishments

Link to excellence and achievement

The Accolades are designed to recognise the crème de la crème of social care teams. The standard is extremely high, which makes the Accolades a great option for those companies who wish to be aligned with excellence and achievement.

Ideal fit for a company’s corporate social responsibility strategy

Sponsorship of the Accolades demonstrates that a company really cares about the community in which it operates, as it is backing the achievements of those people who care for the most vulnerable in our society.

Direct link to delivering high standards of social care in Wales

Your company’s sponsorship will play an important part in encouraging high standards among those teams entering the Accolades, as well as the sharing of good practice with their fellow professionals at the events that follow the awards ceremony.

Low-cost involvement

It is acknowledged that these days, more than ever, sponsorship packages need to be keenly-priced to make business sense for any commercial organisation. That’s why the cost of becoming involved in the Accolades starts from only £3,000. As the awards ceremony doesn’t take place until June 2013, there is also the opportunity to spread the cost of sponsorship over two financial years.

Attractive range of tangible benefits

Among the benefits offered are:

  • Presence at official launch of Accolades in early autumn 2012
  • Logo on all electronic and paper communication about the Accolades
  • Logo on Care Council web pages promoting the Accolades
  • Mention in all press releases
  • Places at the awards ceremony
  • Advert in newsletter following the awards ceremony - Opportunity to meet the Deputy Minister for Social Services and to network with other opinion formers (as listed above)
  • Logo on ceremony programme
It is important to note that the commercial benefits from the Accolades last for almost 18 months, from the time marketing material is produced in summer 2012 until the end of the Accolades best practice sharing events which take place in late autumn 2013.
    This also provides the opportunity to spread the cost of sponsorship across two financial years, with half the money being paid in 2011/12 and the remainder in 2012/13.
