Sponsorship is something else - and the money comes from a Company's advertising or marketing budget. You won't get sponsorship unless you are offering the Company something - i.e. corporate image, publicity, credibility, entertainment, employee relations etc. This sponsorship could be in money form or in kind - donating materials etc.

To find a company who may be interested in sponsoring you, get some local business directories which are produced by the Chamber of Commerce, http://www.britishchambers.org.uk the Major Companies Guide (DSC), A Guide to Company Giving (DSC) and the Hollis Sponsorship and Donations Yearbook (Hollis).
