SPONSORSHIP

ECU's Charity and Events Sponsorship

Jack Clarke – FPA Racing Driver

The ECU Group plc sponsored Jack Clarke in 2007 ’s Formula Palmer Audi championship (FPA) – one of the premier training grounds for aspiring Formula 1 drivers.

The championship is a true test of a driver’s skill as all of the cars are owned and maintained by the FPA team ensuring absolute equality of equipment and providing a unique level playing field for the drivers.

Jack - one of the fastest drivers over the winter - finished 4th in the driver rankings.

Elements – an extraordinary event

On Saturday 16th June 2007 Windlesham House School staged elements - the most ambitious event ever produced by a UK School. Using lasers, projections, advanced pyrotechnics, dancing flamethrowers, outdoor stages and rock concert sound and light systems, a cast of hundreds of local children performed in collaboration with some of the leading figures in the entertainment world. It was a truly spectacular experience pushing the boundaries of what has previously been considered possible.

The purpose of the day was to raise awareness and money for Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, the only children’s hospice in Sussex. As it receives no government funding at all, the Hospice relies on charitable contributions to maintain its vital work in the community. Children from all over Sussex came together to support Chestnut Tree life-limited children and their families. To see the work done by Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice and how they raise the £2 million a year they need, visit www.chestnut-tree- house.org.uk.

With the cooperation of the International Space Station and the RAF, and using a 7.1 surround sound system (which is believed to be a world first for a live outdoor performance), the show enveloped the audience with light, sound and music. There was also a whole day of family entertainment including a farmer’s market, helicopter rides, super-cars, face painting, fire eating, a climbing wall and much more.

The ECU Group sponsored the face painting stall at the event and hope to assist in meeting the fund-raising targets for the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice.
