Many student groups look to attract sponsors to support their events and activities either financially or through the provision of products or services.

Bristol SU can support with sponsorship in the following ways:

Training and templates

We run training throughout the year on a variety of topics, check our training calendar to find the next sponsorship session. Alternatively, you can book in a Development Meeting to discuss questions you may have around sponsorship.

Sponsorship Guide

Contract Template

We would recommend looking at our sponsorship guide and contract template first to help formalise your thoughts. 

Contracts Guidance

Bristol SU can review contracts for your group, these reviews are sense checks and not legal advice. If you require legal advice on a contract, we suggest you contact the Law Clinic. 

If you would like us to review a sponsorship contract that has been sent to you or one you have written, please email it to bristolsu@bristol.ac.uk. 

Before sending a contract to us it is important to ensure that

• You have read and understood everything that is being requested and agreed to.
• You can deliver on everything that is being asked of you.
• That your potential new partner is a legitimate business, you can do this by looking them up on the Companies House website.

Invoice requests

Once the contract has been signed by both the group and sponsor you can request an invoice be sent to your sponsor for the agreed amount. If the Treasurer is not making this request, please inform them of the request and the income the group is expecting to receive.
