Partnerships and Sponsorships 

With the addition of a second classroom in 2023, we anticipate our annual costs to deliver the programme be around $240,000. This includes costs such as employing staff, purchasing of/maintenance of educational resources and associated technology, as well as supplying and maintaining the mobile classrooms, tractor units (truck), and the Educator’s vehicles. As we receive no government funding we are therefore reliant on the generosity of the community to ensure we can continue to deliver the programme across our region.
 

We're proud to be supported by a number of local businesses and organisations, however in order to keep our income consistent and reliable, reach more children, and keep both our classrooms active, we must increase local sponsorships. Grant funding and donations are variable and never guaranteed, so planning and budgeting is difficult. Sponsorship will provide our trust with more certainty, and allow us to keep delivering the programme to the high standard our schools have come to expect.
 

We believe in genuine partnerships and integration so will build tailored recognition packages for our supporters that could include access to Harold, staff engagement with Educators and the Life Education experience, brand exposure, and acknowledgement events.

The benefits:

Making the decision to contribute to this special cause will mean you are helping us to make a  real difference in our children's lives.
 

• We provide a highly regarded and sought after health and wellbeing service to 71 primary and intermediate schools across our region, reaching over 12,000 children (and families) over a two year period.
• Our classroom and the Life Education brand are highly visible in the schools we visit, and across the region as our classroom and Educator travel.
• Harold the Giraffe is an instantly recognisable brand associated with fun. laughter and positive life-long learning.
• The opportunity to create a long-term relationship with a trusted local organisation. Because our service is so highly regarded and sought after, your partnership will help to deliver important messages about issues like mental well-being, obesity, substance use, bullying and social responsibility, directly into the local communities that matter to you and your staff.
