We hope that you have heard the exciting news that one of Britain's leading broadcasters Clare Balding CBE & her wife, actress and radio newsreader, Alice Arnold became the Patrons of the Mintridge Foundation in December 2022 to help bridge the gap between sports stars and youth, and in turn, help more young people to have a positive relationship with sport. We are thrilled!

They are spending time with the Mintridge Foundation Ambassadors from across the UK to help shape their stories and deliver the greatest impact possible and together, they will help grow the charity and take it to new heights.

...And now we would like you to join us to celebrate...

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 

We would love to speak to organisations and individuals that would like to help us create a truly memorable evening to raise valuable funds and awareness of our Northamptonshire charity. 

With your help, we can…

...Give young people of all abilities and physical capabilities the confidence to move and in turn, they will find the confidence to shine and overcome life's challenges.

Every child should have the help to see what they can be, and that help can be from the Mintridge Foundation.

We are welcoming raffle and auction items for the evening as well. Please get in touch via the sponsorship link below if your organisation would like to be involved. 

If you are unable to join us during the evening but you would like to support our charity, we would love this! In a world of superficial social media presence, increasing sedentary lifestyles, a mental health epidemic and the long reaching impact of Covid - 19, young people need to see a greater variety of sporting role models. Young people need the Mintridge Foundation more than ever.
