Arthey Associates were pleased to support the excellent work of The Mintridge Foundation as an event sponsor as they hosted a unique event ‘An Evening with Clare Balding CBE’ on Thursday 31st August.  

The Mintridge Foundation is a charity focused on harnessing the power of sports personalities to help young people get into and stay involved in a range of sports. 

Hosted at the prestigious Rockingham Castle, by kind permission of the Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire and his family, the Mintridge Foundation’s Patron, Clare Balding CBE, presented to a select audience, supported by some of the country’s top sports stars, who generously shared their valuable insights on what has propelled them to the pinnacle of their respective sports. 

Tom Arthey, said: “We were one of a selected group of ‘Starting XI’ sponsors at this prestigious sporting evening, helping to raise important funds that will go towards helping young people to have a positive relationship with sport.” 

“Growing up I enjoyed participating in a range of sports, especially team sports, and am a big believer in the role sports plays in the social development of young people, and their physical and mental health. With educational and sports funding pressures, and the loss of playing fields and open spaces, it is a real challenge to give opportunities in sport to young people. I hope that by supporting The Mintridge Foundation, we can help this amazing local charity continue to provide opportunities to more young people to find a sport that suits them and stay involved.”
