COMMUNITY NEWS
Reliance Foundation ESA Cup & Stoke Park
Grants - The Boodles tennis
One of the Reliance Foundation’s (Stoke Park
parent company) key initiatives is the Education
and Sports for All (ESA) programme. Through
Stoke Park’s community outreach initiatives, the
ESA programme is committed to supporting
causes which have a positive impact within the
local community.
Stoke Park also awarded a Queens Platinum
Award (via Berkshire Community Donation) to the
charity Together as One (Aik Saath). This £10,000
grant funded their Global Grub campaign, which
was also supported by HRH The Prince of Wales.
It taught children how to cook and provided a
meal each day during holidays when free school
meals were not available.

Sports for development
Stoke Park is helping 20 local athletes at
grassroots level through SportsAid, supporting
future Olympians and Paralympians, whilst also
working on inclusivity and activation programmes
to help inspire local children and families into
sport.
Alongside SportsAid and LEAP, they are a
partner of The School Games - an inclusive sports
programme which will reach 20,000 children
throughout Buckinghamshire, encouraging
children of all abilities not just to compete, but
also to participate.
Overseeing their outreach programme is
Stoke Park’s Director of Communications, Nick
Downie, who commented: ‘Stoke Park are very
proud to be a part of the local community and
we have set about on an extensive community
outreach programme much bigger than we
have done before. I have worked at Stoke Park
for nearly 14 years and am really excited to be
having this opportunity to help support. This
outreach programme is there to bring lasting
benefit to the local community and we
are always looking for opportunities to be
considered, so please do get in touch with us.’
