I am delighted to announce this new partnership with News UK on behalf of Bankside Open Spaces Trust.

I have been working on this significant Founding Corporate Partnership since last October and have loved my visits to the impressive News UK HQ. Thanks to all the great Group Corporate Affairs and Communications teams there. Welcome on board and come and join us!

You can read the News UK announcement below.

We’re thrilled to announce we’re officially a Founding Corporate Partner of Marlborough Sports Garden, partnering with Bankside Open Spaces Trust for the next three years!

We’re not just supporting a redevelopment; we’re investing in a brighter future for Southwark. This iconic sports garden, right by The Shard, will be transformed into a free-to-use, inclusive community sports hub.

As a local employer, this initiative aligns with News UK’s commitment to supporting the communities we serve and to providing opportunities for future generations.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact this transformed space will have on thousands of lives over the coming years!
