Sponsorship Opportunities

METHODY GALA BALL

For more than 150 years, Methodist College Belfast has stood as one of Northern Ireland’s leading educational institutions, shaped by a proud tradition of excellence, opportunity, and community spirit. Our heritage does not simply reflect our past, it continues to inspire our pupils today and fuels our ambition to create exceptional experiences for generations to come.

The Methody Gala Ball is a celebration of this legacy. It brings together parents, alumni, friends of the College, and partners from the wider community for an evening dedicated to supporting the opportunities our pupils enjoy throughout their time at Methody. The event also provides a unique platform for businesses to align with a respected and widely recognised institution.

We are pleased to offer your organisation the opportunity to become a sponsor of this year’s Gala Ball. Your support will make a meaningful and lasting difference to the experiences we provide for our pupils, while offering your business valuable visibility throughout the event and beyond.

Depending on the sponsorship package that suits your business, you will benefit from tailored promotional opportunities such as:

• Brand exposure at the Gala Ball

• Recognition during the event programme and announcements

• Inclusion in promotional material and social media/website

Every contribution received is invested directly into enriching the experiences and opportunities available to pupils across the College, ensuring they continue to benefit from an unrivalled environment in which to learn, grow, and achieve.

If supporting the Methody Gala Ball is something that could benefit your business or if you would like to contribute towards enhancing the opportunities we offer our pupils, we would be delighted to hear from you.
