Sponsor Required for Ads in SMH.

Thank you for considering Sponsoring a small number of Monthly Ads the in the early News Section of Saturday SMH. The readership of this edition is around 500,000, the next advert I propose to put in would be for around end Jan. ’24. 

As a potential Sponsor, please note the following…

  • I handle NO MONEY. 
  • Your potentially Life Saving Contribution goes
  • DIRECT to the SMH the Monday before the ad. comes out to ‘Book the Ad. in’ 
  • This is ONLY to pay for the Advertising space,
  • The design is done by SMH Design team for free,
  • I create the advert in conjunction with SMH Advert Section.
  • You are ONLY committing yourself for one Advert at a time, you are free to  discontinue at any other time.
  • Re editorial, there are (quite rightly) very tight restrictions on what I can say, and how I can say it …
  • The Sponsorship I am seeking is ONLY for outlining/explaining my 6 point Dream, which I expect would take (say) 5 more adverts.
  • So there’s no confusion, they will NOT BE my ‘Normal’ Suicide Prevention ads.
  • Out of Courtesy/Respect to SMH Commercial Integrity, I will only reveal the amount required once I have ascertained I am dealing with a serious, Fully Identified Person or Business, and possibly refer you to ‘my’ SMH Rep if needed, or for further information and verification. 
  • While I prefer your initial contact is by email through this site…
  • If you want to pick up your phone feel free,
  • On my farm I may be out of range for periods of time 
  • But if you leave a clear message and a contact,
  • I will be very happy to ring U back

Contacts on the Contact Page.

Please also know that your Interest, and Potential Sponsorship for Potentially Saving a HUGE # of Aussie Lives by making some BOLD, NEW and Radical Changes to the Aussie Suicide Prevention System…

Is Valued and Appreciated at this end,  more than you will know. 

many thanks

Sponsors Required

For anyone interested in funding/sponsoring my Suicide Prevention Ads.

I currently have 2 Sponsors for my Suicide Prevention.

My bi monthly Men’s Health Column in The Gawler ‘Bunyip’ (NOT part of this site) has been sadly been discontinued but was funded for 8 years now by the Gawler Health Foundation and Gawler Rotary, and

If you are considering funding/Sponsorship, (click here for a pdf of this page to print out/send to someone you think might be interested – PDF Sponsors Required

  • Your money goes DIRECT to the Newspaper concerned
  • I organise this with the paper and yourself
  • You just ‘make it happen!’
  • (I know – or can quickly find out for you how much the ads cost but
  • I will NOT put this info on this site as this is ‘commercially confidential’.)
  • Being anonymous means no one is going to ask you any questions 
  • Or go asking you to Sponsor something else but
  • But this MAY preclude you from claiming your payments as a Tax Deduction
  • OR claiming back the GST (you would need to check this with UR accountant first)
  • I am NOT an accountant but I have been told by the ATO
  • there is NO Tax deduction for Suicide Prevention.
  • However if you are Sponsoring,
  • Then you are advertising UR business – if you have one,
  • And my understanding is that you should (may) be able to claim both a Tax Deduction and the GST. Again you would need to check with UR accountant.
  • If you have any concerns about Public Liability
  • I refer you back to the Main menu bar
  • Listen to Professor Kieth Hawton’s views re this on BBC podcast
  • Read Home Page and goto ‘Disclaimer‘ on main menu bar.
  • Otherwise give me a ring.

I do NOT seek to accept or receive ANY money from you (or anyone else) … I earn my living running sheep!

  • But I write the Ads and ‘make them happen’.

My mobile number is 0402018163, or email info@suicidepreventionads.com or goto ‘Contact’ on main menu.

Would love to hear from you!

I currently have 2 highly valued Sponsors for my Suicide Prevention ads

They have both chosen to remain very anonymous.
