Being involved in the Pride of Essex Awards as a sponsor, supporter, or Essex-born celebrity, gives you a unique opportunity to support and celebrate the extraordinary individuals and groups who make Essex, Southend and Thurrock a brighter, stronger, and more inclusive community.
Contact us at awards@poeawards.org to be involved.
As a main sponsor of an award category, your organisation will not only gain valuable exposure but also align itself with a prestigious event that champions compassion, dedication, and local pride. Whether you're a small business or a large corporation, your involvement will make a lasting impact on the lives of those communities you serve.
You will have exposure on a growing social media platform, radio, posters, leaflets, in-store advertising screens, and banners on awards night. We also acknowledge your sponsorship on our website, with direct links to your website.
