ESG and complianceKnow what your budget buys before you commit
Our estimator converts a sponsorship budget into an indicative number of funded training places and an indicative social value figure, so you can size the programme before you take it to your board.
Method: places = budget ÷ £400 per place. Social value = budget × 33.81. Figures are indicative estimates, not a guarantee of outcome or return.
