Access Bank UK says this year’s Polo Day will focus on raising funds and building partnerships to expand access to education for vulnerable children in Nigeria and other underserved communities.
The annual charity event, scheduled for 4 July in Windsor, England, is expected to bring together business leaders, philanthropists, royalty and high-net-worth individuals to support initiatives aimed at keeping more children in school.
The bank said the event has evolved beyond a social gathering into a platform that mobilises resources for education by funding classrooms, supporting learning programmes and providing essential educational materials.
Through partnerships with UNICEF and other local organisations, proceeds from previous editions have helped thousands of children remain in school despite economic and social challenges, according to Access Bank UK.
The bank said this year’s edition aims to expand the reach of those interventions by attracting greater support to improve both the scale and quality of educational programmes.
“This event is about using our platform to create access where it is most needed,” said Jamie Simmonds, Managing Director of The Access Bank UK.
“By bringing together the right partners and supporters, we are able to deliver outcomes that can make a real difference in the lives of many children.”
The event will also feature His Royal Highness, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir Usman, who will attend as Special Guest of Honour and present the Emir’s Cup.
Access Bank UK said the Emir’s participation reflects the event’s broader objective of connecting leadership, heritage and philanthropy in support of social development.
The bank added that while the Polo Day has become one of the highlights of the social calendar, its primary purpose remains creating opportunities for disadvantaged children through education.
It said the 2026 edition aims to deliver a lasting impact by helping more children gain access to quality education and better opportunities for the future.
