Corporate Sponsorship
Sponsor WBSBC
We are always looking to work in partnership with Sponsors, whatever the size of your budget. There are many different ways you can support us – from sponsoring an individual event, to a training camp, to being the overall club sponsor – and more! Get in touch to discuss options
Benefits for sponsors
Benefit from the positive association with rowing as a sport, and contributing to the health, wellbeing and success of future generations – whether it’s on the water or in the classroom you are investing in their futures too.
Benefit from the positive association with one of the most successful junior rowing clubs in the UK, with a growing international profile too. Your investment will contribute directly to the development of exceptional athletes. Since 2000, WBSBC rowers have represented Great Britain at junior level, including at the World Championships. They have won the prestigious Fawley Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta on numerous occasions and most recently won their event at the Head of the Charles, USA in October last year.
Gain local, regional, national and international exposure through physical advertisements (e.g. on trailers/vehicles; on kit); and through social media tags
Opportunity to join our vibrant WBSBC community membership. There will be a chance to purchase tickets for key Boatclub events (e.g. the annual dinner, Henley Royal Regatta WBSBC enclosure)

Sponsor a van/truck for £5,000/year or for lifetime of the vehicle if sponsor purchases a replacement vehicle. Sponsors get a sticker/logo on the trailer in a prominent position, acknowledged/thanked on our sponsorship page on the website.
Sponsor a marquee for £3,000 for lifetime of marquee. Our Marquees are renowned at all the regional and national regattas and will be seen by many thousands of spectators throughout the year. Sponsors get a new marquee printed with your logo included to be used for years to come, acknowledged/thanked on our sponsorship page on the website.
Sponsor a Coach for £18,000/year. Sponsoring a coach will enhance our provision by increasing the numbers of boys able to row/numbers of sessions. Sponsors get tagged in all publicity where the coach has participated in events, and targeted social media posts to thank specifically for their appointment, acknowledged/thanked on our sponsorship page on the website.
Sponsor full time admin support, enquire for more details. A full-time administrator would be life-changing for WBSBC, as it would free up enormous amounts of the Director of Rowing, Mark Wilkinson's time to coach rather than complete administrative tasks. You’d be investing directly in the future of WBSBC! Sponsors get targeted social media posts to thank specifically for their appointment, acknowledgement/thanks in email banner used by any Boatclub emails and acknowledged/thanked on our sponsorship page on the website.
