Community sponsorship
What we support locally, how to apply, and what falls outside our remit.
Local support
We are a Kirkwall business that has benefited from generations of local custom. Community sponsorship is how we pay some of that back.
What we sponsor
| Cause | Form of support |
|---|---|
| Orkney youth football and shinty | Kit, equipment, away-game travel |
| Local choirs and music festivals | Programme advertising, seating loan |
| Orkney Furniture Project | In-kind donation of donated stock, transport |
| Showroom collection points | Foodbank donations during winter and at Christmas |
| School raffle prizes | Vouchers / soft furnishings for primary and secondary school events |
How to apply
Email enquiries@jandmmcewen.co.uk with "Sponsorship" in the subject line. Tell us:
- What the cause is and who it benefits.
- What kind of support would help (cash, in-kind, equipment, prizes).
- The dates we need to know about.
- Whether you'd offer recognition on a programme, website or banner.
We review applications quarterly. Smaller in-kind asks (raffle prizes, single donations) are normally handled within a week.
What we can't support
- Causes outside Orkney (we're a local business with a local budget).
- Political parties or campaigns.
- Activities that conflict with our sustainability principles.
- Religious organisations — we support faith schools and individual community projects, but not the operations of religious bodies themselves.
Annual budget
We allocate up to 1% of net profit to community support. When the budget is fully committed for the year, we'll say so on this page rather than string applicants along.
