From Ben Jordan of Milton Keynes

I'm a 18 year old racing driver and I was wondering if there would be an oppurtunity to seek some sponsorship.  Im currently competing in the british championship's as well as some big national events. I am hoping to eventually move into cars and at the moment I am mainly funding myself and am struggling to keep up with the competition as I haven't got the funds to match the equipment everybody else has.  I really need the support of my home town and I'm hoping if a big radio station like heart supports me, then other big companys will follow.

If you would like to sponsor Ben, please email him at me@ben-jordan.co.uk

Hi im emailing on behalf of my partner Wesley Botha who is in the army. We recently lost a friend who was in the RAF and my partner thought it would be a good idea to try and raise some money for Help for Heroes.
He has decided to do this by organising a charity golf day at the Three Locks Golf Club on the 28th August.
 
Wesley has asked me to email you and see if we would be able to advertise this event through the radio so we can get as many people involved as possible.
The day will consist of coffee and bacon rolls to start followed by 18 holes of golf. After the round has finished the players will be welcomed back to a platefull of ham, egg and chips. After everyone has eaten, there will be the prize giving ceramony and a raffle, proceeds of which will be going straight to Help for Heroes. To make things more fun we will also be having a competition for the silliest golf attire.

Myself and three others from Milton Keynes have entered ourselves into a rally across Europe starting in Lille and ending in Budapest. It is around 1500miles in total and is to be completed in just 4 days. As we have chosen to do this in aid of Cancer Research UK we have decided to approach you to ask for any donation that you can afford; this can be through monetary means or donations of goods for a raffle or even some kind of sponsorship. In return we will b happy to have your company logo placed somehwere on our car to give you some publicity.
 
We intend to take this car to a range of events in the local area to collect donations and your logo will be seen at these events. We also hope to feature in the local papers in the next few weeks where again any photo would show your company logo.

Sent in by Clair from Old Stratford
Hi, This is probably a long shoot but I feel its worth asking. My children go to a school called Old Stratford Primary in Northamptonshire. My son is in year 6 and he has a serious nut allergy, other allergies and asthma. He has epi pens at home and school and the school are fantastic with dealing with this issue. They buy my son special treats etc so that he doesn't miss out.
I have contacted you to ask for possible help for the school. My son has been in the school theatre group for the last 3 years, they practise to perform a play which takes 6 months of the year, all done by certain teachers in the school in their own time. They have performed for MK Dons last year and this year they have performed Romeo and Juliet. The children involved in this performance all sing solo and together and act. They are amazing. They try to add extra bits each year to the performances with the little money available from the performances. The Year before last they added a few littles bit of lighting, last year was a little extra staging but they still need a huge amount more to achieve the full set for them.
They are not at all aware of me contacting you or of me trying to achieve a possible helping hand in this matter but I feel they deserve it and I'm willing to try for them. I am contacting you to ask really nicely if you can or if you know who can help me raise money for there theatre club to purchase clip-on microphones and sounding for the microphones as I feel this would be a very helpful benefit to them. Please please can you help achieve this.
Mrs Rittson is the main teacher involved in this and i feel she deserves credit for her achievement. Dvd's are available for us to purchase of the play but the microphones would make it so much clearer to hear. 

If anyone thinks they can help Clair, please contact Heart here with your name and a contact number, and how you can help
