B E PA R T O F T H E C E L E B R AT I O N A N D S P O N S O R T H E S TA R A W A R D S ! 22 JUNE 2020 | 7PM The annual Leeds City College Star Awards is a heart-warming celebration of student endeavour. It recognises those learners who have distinguished themselves in their studies, overcome challenges and contributed to their college and wider community. With ten prestigious awards to be won, there has never been a more important time to bring people together and celebrate the achievements of our outstanding students. Although we can’t bring our students together at a glamorous venue this year, we are determined to give them a night to remember with our Virtual Star Awards. We would like to invite you to become a sponsor of the 2020 Star Awards and become part of the celebration whatever form it takes. Our bespoke packages will provide a comprehensive marketing campaign which will include activity before, during and after the awards night.
THE AUDIENCE Leeds City College is one of the largest FE Colleges in the UK with over 20,000 students, many of whom are from the most deprived areas in the region, and 1500 staff. The glittering Star Awards is one of the many ways that we create inspiring educational experiences and transform the lives of our students. The event will be open to all of our students and their families, teaching staff, local businesses and other stakeholders and local dignitaries. It will also be recorded and widely shared after the event.
