thankyou for your interest in supporting change

The Embolden Festival would not be possible without the help of our partners and sponsors. A total of 22 organisations, groups and services have supported our Embolden events - see the list below. The sponsorship and partnership options focus on supporting the events, rather than drink bottles, lanyards, satchels etc. This approach is about building real change together. Here are 5 reflections on our past Embolden events that highlight why supporting #Embolden2020 is a great thing to do:
  1. Attendance: 250 participants at #Embolden2018 and  400+ at #Embolden2019
  2. Presenters: 56 in 2018 and 61 in 2019
  3. ​Evaluation: rating of 4.8/5 in 2018 and 2019 for usefulness 
  4. Attendees: service providers, older people, researchers, policy makers, diverse communities
  5. Legacy: webpage for each Festival, films, photo albums and resources.
