Thanks for the comments people. I have been away working on ACD for a while which is why I havn't replied sooner. I will take all your comments on board and repost here when I have made changes.

Thanks again,

Joe

A checklist might be nice on 'what we need'

Well, if you are after sponsors you want to make your text sound very professional and to the point. You want to assure potential sponsors that you are a real organization and their money would be well spent.
I'm no good at copy so I couldn't tell you if you're wording is the best.

What you want to make sure you're clear on...
What the problem is
How your organization is helping
Why you need sponsors
What is in it for the sponsors

I think you may want to add something about what you've done in the past to assure potential sponsors that you are a real organization. Adding some pictures could be good with this.
Also if there is any kind of tax break or something like that that sponsors can get, let them know it.

Just one nitpicky item on your layout...
You might want to make your cellpadding 3 or 5 in your menutable so things don't look quite so crowded.

Best of luck with this! It looks like a very worthwhile endeavor!

I like the site a lot. Very simple, very effective.

One issue was that when I went to the "What we need" page, the left hand navigation bar went to the bottom of the page when I was using Mozilla 1.6. It seemed to work fine in Explorer.

Very, very good. I would put the menu above the newsletter signup.

It's a good start with a nice simple format. You need to do something about the image however at the top left, it doesnt seem to fit in with the page. Also, the colour scheme is very bright & adds to a slightly 'amateur' ish feel to it.

Reduce the font size slightly so you can incorporate slightly more information on the main page & use some CSS on the links down the left hand side to make the roll-over more interesting.

If you want people tp sponsor you, your going to need to look much more professional before they feel confident in giving you cash. Regardless of how good your reasons are
