Investing in the future

By supporting good causes we enhance our reputation. Supporting local initiatives also builds our relationships with local stakeholders.

In 2006 we invested over £650,000 in good causes, such as education, the arts and sport. Our sponsorships included:

• The British Land UK Chess Challenge.
• The British Land National Ski Championships for the 28th consecutive year.
• The British Land British Open and Amateur Championships for Real Tennis for the 13th year.

Our property management teams have responsibility for community funding decisions at our properties. This enables a speedy response and entrusts decision making to those who are most familiar with the needs of their local communities. In 2006 local sponsorship included:

• Eastgate Shopping Centre supporting St Luke's Hospice.
• Teesside Shopping Park supporting a multi-use games area.
• Meadowhall Shopping Centre supporting the European Brandenburg Ensemble.
