One the objectives of their awards is that promoting the Goals (which align with Inside Magazine’s intentions) will inspire even more ideas and innovation.

Vicky Vaughan (Grants and Partnerships), Worthing Community Chest said: “We have selected seven (of 17) Global Goals, which we feel are relevant locally, as well as globally. We are encouraging the public to vote for the other three goals”. 

The pre-selected goals can be seen on the headline image. Awards are open to small charities and community groups, whether have been previously funded not. Judging will be based on the creativity of the the group’s work and the impact they have achieved so far, both locally and how they have contributed to the UNSDGs. There are two awards for each category - a winner and a runner-up, and we will chose three nominations for each category.

Another prime objective for the awards is for sponsors to be part of our community enrichment journey, both locally and globally. The awards target is £10k, after award costs, which will re-distributed as community grants. Seed Grants, Grass Roots and Grants for Growth will be awarded to groups working towards the ten chosen UNSDG targets. Our awards create exciting collaboration opportunities for Worthing businesses and the community. Sponsors will have an opportunity to nurture the groups they sponsor, helping them to achieve their CSR, ESG and Employer Branding goals, thus creating shared value all around!

We are seeking awards community partners to achieve our goals:

• 2 main community sponsors to invest £5k each

• 1 community sponsor per category to invest £500 each

• Sponsors to help us with catering/drinks at the event

We are currently researching and designing attractive sponsorship packages, which will include prominent promotion and PR, pre, during, and post-event. Interested sponsors are invited to suggest sponsorship package and partnership ideas.
