FOREWORD
Access Sport is once again preparing for the Annual
Dinner; a fundraising initiative to help transform young
lives through sport, which repeatedly proves to be a truly
spectacular occasion.
For the past two years we have been extremely fortunate
to hold the dinner at The Brewery, a Grade II listed
landmark of Whitbread’s 18th Century beer-making
empire. Every year we have an excellent range of
speakers and are grateful for the commitment of the
Access Sport ambassadors, and sporting legends, that
make it a uniquely extraordinary occasion and a night
long remembered by all who attend.
Sponsoring the Access Sport Annual Dinner provides you
the unique opportunity to enhance your organisation’s
CSR profile and change the lives of some of the most
disadvantaged young people in the UK. All while joining
a fantastic event tailored towards the sporting industry.
With the majority of attendees in 2016 being senior
level decision makers within their organisations across a
range of major sectors including finance and banking,
information technology and government, sponsorship of
the Annual Dinner is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy
an exciting evening in rarefied company.
We look forward to your participation.
Tim Jones
