Admiral Group sponsors many different organisations and events in the South Wales area and we do this for a number of reasons:
Our current sponsorships portfolio includes:
We're proud of our partnership with Welsh Rugby which began in 2010, and Admiral is the Jersey Sponsor of the Welsh 7s Team, and the Welsh Under-20 and Under-18 Teams.
For us, it is more than having the Admiral name on a jersey; the main reason is because of our staff. They tell us how delighted they are to see Admiral associated with their heroes. Our partnership means our staff get some great benefits too, including visits to our offices by players, tours of Principality Stadium and the chance to train like a player with some pretty impressive coaches. The children of staff have even taken part in the Festival of Rugby.
Chapter is a multi-artform venue which includes theatre, cinema screens, an art gallery and cafe/bar. It is popular with Admiral staff who enjoy numerous benefits as part of our sponsorship, including cinema tickets, creative workshops and a discount at the centre.
We are delighted to team up with St David’s Hospice Care in Newport to sponsor the City of Newport Half Marathon. It’s a fantastic event for the city of Newport and is popular with members of staff from Newport, Cardiff and Swansea.
As a car insurance provider we have a natural link to road safety and we teamed with the School Crossing Patrol Service in Cardiff Council to provide uniforms for school crossing officers and raise awareness of road safety in Cardiff, helping to keep children in the area safe when going to and from school.
Admiral has sponsored the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k since 2007. It is one of the UK’s premier road races with a flat, fast and scenic route alongside the magnificent views of Swansea Bay and is popular with our staff members, both beginners and experienced runners.
No Fit State is a contemporary circus combining live music, dance, stage design and film with traditional circus skills. As part of our sponsorship of No Fit State, performers come to our offices and events and teams can take part in team building circus skills workshops.
Techniquest is the UK’s longest established science centre, that offers interactive experiences mainly aimed at children. Admiral sponsors Techniquest’s After Hours evening events, which are aimed at young adults, making them popular with our staff. As part of this sponsorship our staff and their families can also enjoy Techniquest.
We're proud to be the main sponsor of Pride Cymru, Wales’ biggest annual celebration of equality and diversity. We have supported Price Cymru since 2000 and as main stage sponsor and primary partner, we increased our support for the 2018 event. As part of the sponsorship, Admiral staff take part in the Pride parade and help as volunteers at the event, plus our Admiral Inspire Choir and an Admiral band perform on the main stage.
We've joined forces with Swansea Council to provide funding for new uniforms for the school crossing patrol workforce and help raise awareness of road safety, helping to keep children in the area safe when going to and from school.
We are proud to sponsor the Child of Courage category at the 2018 Evening Post Community Awards. The awards night was held on Thursday 29th March in the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea and celebrates community heroes from the Swansea Bay area.
We're proud to sponsor the Achiever Award at the Pride of Gwent Awards. The awards recognise the unsung heroes within the Gwent community. Some have saved lives, some have cared for others and some have raised huge amounts for Charity or have made a real difference to their communities. Others have faced adversity or illness with great courage.
Tafwyl is taking place from Friday 21 June to Sunday 23 June in Cardiff, and this year, we're sponsoring the Q&A Yurt. The festival will be bringing a array of some of the biggest names in Welsh arts, culture & sport to Cardiff; along with an excellent street food area.
One of the Natural History Museum's best-recognised exhibits, Dippy the Diplodocus will visit the National Museum in Cardiff from 19th October 2019 to 26th January 2020. As part of a road trip across the UK, Dippy is venturing out of London for the first time since 1905 and we are delighted to be Wales sponsor of the tour.
