PLATINUM JUBILEE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Across Norfolk, plans are advancing to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year. Towns and parishes are arranging beacons to be lit on 2nd June. Street parties are being organised for The Big Jubilee Lunch (2nd – 5th June extended bank holiday weekend). 1,500 schoolchildren and adults will sing and perform in A Royal Salute at the Royal Norfolk Show on 29th & 30th June. And people are signing up to take part in the Platinum Jubilee Challenge Awards through-

out the year. And businesses can get involved too. The Lord-Lieutenant’s organising committee is actively seeking partnerships with local businesses, to enable staff to take part in activities and celebrations, and to raise money to benefit communities across the county. The Platinum Jubilee Fund has been established to support the costs of all the events and activities in Norfolk, as well as provide a legacy fund administered by the Norfolk Community Foundation, distributed according to the principles of the County Lieutenancy: ‘To offer active support to the voluntary, commercial, social, and spiritual lives of the citizens of Norfolk.’ Examples of partnership opportunities include: Company branded certificates for those completing the Challenge Awards, or entering a team of staff to take part in the Awards; Company branding on 1,500 performers’ tabards for A Royal Salute, supporting the filming and distribution of the performance with associated branding; Become a Trail Patron for one of the new Platinum Jubilee Trails across Norfolk, install branded QR codes on Trails linking to historical and environmental information; or many other options. Opportunities for staff engagement are considerable, from these examples to lighting a beacon, or organising a street or office party for The Big Jubilee Lunch. Supporting businesses will benefit from extensive public exposure through the website www.platinumjubileenorfolk.org, which will be the main information hub for all Platinum Jubilee activity in Norfolk, and dedicated social media channels (@jubileenorfolk on Twitter, @platinumjubileenorfolk for all other channels). They will also get access to exclusive events, and invitations to a Grand Reception at the Royal Norfolk Show, hosted by HM LordLieutenant of Norfolk, The Lady Dannatt MBE. Recent Chair of the Norfolk branch of the Institute of Directors, Michael Harrowven JP, who is supporting the Lieutenancy in setting up these partnerships, said: “This Platinum Jubilee year presents a fantastic opportunity for businesses to really position themselves at the heart of their communities, engage their staff, fulfill their corporate social responsibilities, raise their profiles, and celebrate their resilience after a challenging couple of years.” Chair of Norfolk’s organising committee, Deputy Lieutenant James Bagge, said; “As well as all the individuals, community groups, schools, councils and others coming together, we really want to partner with the business community and touch every aspect of society in Norfolk to celebrate the life and achievements of a remarkable person, Her Majesty The Queen.” Any business interested in discussing their potential involvement should contact Michael Harrowven at supporters@platinumjubileenorfolk.org, or register their interest at www.platinumjubileenorfolk.org.
