Access Bank UK is set to host its annual Polo Day on July 4, 2026, in Windsor, bringing together business leaders, philanthropists, royalty and high-net-worth individuals to raise support for the education of vulnerable children.
The event, which has become a major fixture on the social calendar, aims to mobilise resources and strategic partnerships to improve access to education for children in underserved communities.
According to the organisers, Access Bank UK Polo Day has evolved into a platform that transforms influence into impact by funding classrooms, supporting learning programmes and helping children remain in school despite economic and social challenges.
Through collaborations with UNICEF and other local partners, proceeds from previous editions have supported educational initiatives focused on improving access to learning facilities, educational materials and quality schooling for thousands of children.
The 2026 edition seeks to expand the reach of these interventions by generating additional support to enhance the scale and quality of educational programmes.
Speaking on the significance of the initiative, Jamie Simmonds said the event is focused on creating opportunities for children through strategic partnerships and sustained support.
He noted that bringing together the right stakeholders enables the organisation to deliver meaningful outcomes that positively impact the lives of vulnerable children.
This year’s event will also feature His Royal Highness, Abdulmumini Kabir Usman, as Special Guest of Honour. He is expected to present the Emir’s Cup, underscoring the event’s blend of heritage, sport and social impact.
The Emir, widely recognised for his contributions to polo and community development, is expected to lend further visibility to the initiative’s mission of advancing educational opportunities for disadvantaged children.
Organisers say the event remains committed to the belief that every child deserves access to education, regardless of background or circumstance.
Over the years, Access Bank UK Polo Day has grown beyond a sporting and social event into a sustainable platform for driving measurable social impact, with a focus on ensuring that more children have access to quality education and brighter futures.
