How to Become a Sponsor  

Cause Related Marketing opportunities that can save lives
Corporate Partnerships team works with a wide range of corporate partners, to help us provide the resources to support our work for lifesaving and lifeguarding.

Some of our partners choose to support our work on a purely philanthropic basis, knowing that their donation can help to save others - either through water safety education for young children; the teaching of parents and carers to save the lives of their babies or equipping a wide cross section of the community with the training and knowledge to help save the lives of others in an emergency situation . Other partners prefer to use our expertise to complement their marketing strategies and to influence key commercial audiences. We approach each partnership on an individual basis, taking steps to match their expectations and our needs effectively.

You may be looking to target lifesavers or have an interest in people who help to save lives. You may be looking for a charity partner that has a combination of national and local presence. Either way, Lifesavers can help.

Business expertise
RLSS UK has a reputation and the experience to deliver business benefits that add real value to our corporate partners. We strive to build long term relationships - and we work hard to understand your business objectives.

Accessing the leisure market
We estimate that over two million people swim regularly at pools protected by lifeguards who hold professional qualifications from RLSS UK. Without our training programmes over 2000 swimming pools would not be as safe as they now are. Can we help your organisation, its products and services, to become better known and respected in the growing UK leisure market? A partnership with RLSS UK will prove that you understand the needs and share the values of this growing potential market of millions, leaving you better placed to become the supplier of choice.
