Sponsors

The Institute is an independent charitable organisation and is reliant for its continuing activities on corporate and personal memberships, private donations and sponsorship. It is therefore why we constantly seek to secure new sources of financial support. If you are interested in sponsoring an event or seminar series, please email
Catriona Laing, the Institute's Development Director, who would be pleased to provide you with details.
