Current Sponsorship Opportunities

At Global Grooves, we don’t just create Carnival arts experiences — we ignite cultural celebration, inspire communities, and empower individuals to dream bigger. As the only Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) in Tameside, our mission is not only to preserve and innovate Carnival traditions but to use them as a force for social, cultural, and environmental transformation.

Partnering with Global Grooves is more than sponsorship. It’s an opportunity to align your brand with a visionary organisation that values creativity, sustainability, and inclusivity — principles at the heart of meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).


Why Sponsor Global Grooves?

  1. Transform Lives Through Creativity
    Global Grooves uses the power of Carnival arts to transform lives, especially among young people. Our flagship Future Leaders programme nurtures the next generation of artists and community leaders, offering mentorship, training, and real-world opportunities to underrepresented and disadvantaged groups. Sponsoring us directly contributes to developing skills, confidence, and future careers in the creative industries.
  2. Promote Sustainability and Innovation
    We are committed to environmental responsibility, working towards a carbon-neutral future for The Vale—our Northern Carnival Centre of Excellence. Sponsoring Global Grooves helps advance sustainable practices in the arts, aligning your brand with green initiatives and innovation.
  3. Foster Cultural Diversity and Inclusion
    Carnival arts transcend boundaries. By supporting us, you’re championing diverse voices and creating inclusive spaces where communities celebrate their unique stories. From international collaborations to local engagement, our projects break barriers and build connections.
  4. Amplify Your CSR Impact
    Partnering with Global Grooves positions your brand as a catalyst for positive change. We offer bespoke opportunities to engage your employees, stakeholders, and customers through workshops, events, and campaigns that directly reflect your CSR goals.
  5. Reach Diverse and Engaged Audiences
    Our work reaches millions annually — from local families at Mossley Light Festival to international audiences at high-profile events in Qatar, Italy, and Nigeria. With a strong presence in physical and digital spaces, your brand gains visibility among aspirational, socially conscious audiences.
  6. Collaborate with Leaders in the Arts
    As a trusted name in the creative sector, Global Grooves brings over 80 years of collective experience in producing impactful arts and culture programmes. Our expertise ensures high-quality, meaningful sponsorship activation tailored to your goals
