Sponsorship
British Land is strongly committed to investing in
the future through education, the arts and sport. Particular emphasis
is given to helping young people improve their prospects and the quality
of life.
- British Land was Sole Sponsor of the Thomas Gainsborough exhibition
at Tate Britain, London between October 2002 and January 2003 and subsequently
at Washington D.C. and Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
- This year nearly 66,000 schoolchildren from nearly 2,000 schools are
taking part in The British Land UK Chess Challenge, the largest chess
tournament in the world. The tournament is designed for all standards
of play and all ages from 18 down to 6 years old. Schools build their
reputations, while children benefit from constructive enjoyment as they
develop qualities of concentration, forward planning, resilience and
flexibility.
- British Land encourages its management teams to be sensitive to local
issues in communities in which we operate and to sponsor causes which
help regeneration of the local community where appropriate. For six
years now Meadowhall Shopping Centre has been the main sponsor of The
Sheffield Star's annual Superkids Awards, which reward children from
throughout the South Yorkshire region for their courage and achievements.
Over the years, children aged 4-16, from all backgrounds, who have battled
against the odds to come out on top, or achieved their dreams after
years of hard work, have been honoured. Categories of award include
Triumph over Adversity, Academic and Sporting Achievement and we are
very proud to help give these special children the acknowledgement they
deserve.
- Partners in Leadership is a highly successful project organised by
Business in the Community. Over 600 business partners are matched to
head teachers throughout the country, providing a valuable sounding
board as well as a link between the school and the business community.
British Land sponsors the Partners in Leadership Newsletter and encourages
and supports its own employees' involvement as business partners.
- The Prince's Trust helps young people to succeed, focusing on 14-30
year olds who lack the opportunity or means to make the most of their
lives. British Land is currently helping six young people to realise
their full potential by starting their own businesses.
- The West Euston Partnership involves Camden Council, the Health Authority,
the police, community associations, tenants, the church, the Crown Estate,
British Land and the Prudential with a brief to unite the diverse Camden
