SATURDAY 28th JULY

THE ST JAMES’S PLACE POLO DAY IN AID OF THE ST JAMES PLACE FOUNDATION

Making a welcome return in 2007 after a year break, this event saw over 500 guests attend in 2005 helping to raise £45,000 for the Cotswold Care Hospice and Bristol Cancer Help Centre. Guests were treated to a fantastic polo match which saw local team Laird defeat a Highgrove team including HRH The Prince of Wales, Prince Harry and Luke and Claire Tomlinson 4 goals to 3.

This year the proceeds will go towards the St James Places’ own foundation who issue grants to any UK charity with a turnover of less than £400,000 that has a project that will provide directly for young people (under the age of 25) within the UK who suffer from physical or mental health difficulties or conditions, or a life threatening or degenerative illness.

ABOUT THE ST JAMES PLACE FOUNDATION
In 1999, the shareholders of St. James's Place Capital agreed that, in future, the Company should match, pound for pound, all monies raised by the Foundation, with an upper limit of £500,000. In 2001, this resulted in funds raised exceeding £1 million in a year for the first time, an accomplishment that was repeated in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The matching upper limit has been increased each year and in 2005 stands at £800,000. In total more than £6.5 million has been raised.

At the present time, the St James Place Foundation has two themes “Cherishing the Children” and “The Hospice Movement”. Any UK charity with a turnover of less than £400,000 that has a project that will provide directly for young people (under the age of 25) within the UK who suffer from physical or mental health difficulties or conditions, or a life threatening or degenerative illness can apply for a grant of up to £10,000 from the Foundation. Similarly, the Foundation makes grants of up to £10,000 to hospices in the UK for items such as equipment, the cost of therapy and other treatments.

In total, over £4,450,000 has been given in grants to all causes since the Foundation was established just over 13 years ago and the Foundation has approximately £1.6 million available for future distribution.The Foundation is proud of what has been achieved over the past 13 years and we look forward to the challenge of sustaining and increasing its growth so that even more people may benefit from its success.
