Event sponsorship
Sponsor one of our 2026 events and help us celebrate our centenary in style while promoting your organisation to our supporters
Join us in celebrating a century of compassion, care, and community.
In 2026, Cheltenham Animal Shelter will proudly celebrate 100 years of compassion, care, and community support. Since 1926, we have helped thousands of abandoned, abused, and unwanted animals by providing shelter, medical care, and a second chance at life, made possible by the generosity of our supporters and local businesses.
To mark this historic milestone, we are inviting businesses and organisations to partner with us as event sponsors, becoming part of a once-in-a-century celebration while supporting our vital work for the future.
