Organised by, Action Indoor Cricket England (AICE), the governing body of Indoor Cricket in England & Wales and supported by the ECB, the event will be live streamed from the U Pro Arena. To the lighten the load on player’s parents, the team has sought sponsorship from local businesses wanting to help support local talent. MPA has agreed to donate £250.00 from our Charitable Foundation and MPA’s branding will feature on Leo’s kit and bag throughout the tournament. Costs of attending the u17 Indoor Cricket World Cup are more than £3,000 per player to cover travel, accommodation, insurance and coaching support. Leo’s father, Jez Ward, has also set up a crowdfunding page to assist with the costs to ensure that Leo does not miss out on this fantastic opportunity - any further support is welcomed at: **Crowdfunding to send Leo to Dubai to represent England in the u17 Indoor Cricket World Cup on JustGiving** **Wheels in Motion for London to Paris Ride - £150.00** Friend of MPA, Hayden Froggatt, recently embarked on a four-day, 500km cycle challenge from London to Paris on behalf of the Cure Leukaemia’s Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP).

If you can support in any way, you get **’** involved via **Hayden s Just Giving page.

MPA is indebted to the volunteers for all they do to bring colour and vibrancy to the town, helping to make it such an attractive place to live and work. We look forward to seeing Henley in Arden in full bloom next year and thank all at Henley in Bloom for their sterling work in keeping Henley beautiful. **MPA Sponsors local BMX Team - £1,000** March **2012** **TAR** 5 Section D Achievements and performance |The range of sports children can become involved with at such a young| |---| |age is remarkable.

The company is inspiring the next generation of leaders through its Playmaker Award, which it delivers to primary school children within our local community. Based in South Warwickshire and established by Neil Supperstone, Coolsportz is a dynamic coaching company offering a wide range of sports and holiday clubs at venues across the south of the county. The PlayMaker Award aims to give an introduction to leadership by giving children knowledge on how to assist in leading their own games and activities that can be used during curricular and extra-curricular time, as well as in sports clubs. Recommended for 9 to 11-year-olds, the Award is considered the first step to a leadership qualification and comprises six hour-long sessions focusing on inclusivity, communication, organisation, teamwork and leadership training. This is the fourth year that MPA has supported the Award by sponsoring Neil to deliver the course to 14 Year 5 and Year 6 students at Henley Church of England Primary School. In addition to sponsoring the latest programme, which took place in January, MPA paid for special PlayMaker caps and tabards to wear whilst on the course, and certificates for the children to receive once they have completed it. March **2012** **TAR** 7 Section D Achievements and performance Phil McGovern, Managing Director at MPA, said: “Ensuring that we are equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to become leaders of the future is hugely important for our society. Neil and Coolsportz deliver an important first step in that process, and the children love taking part, so we are proud to be part of the company’s ongoing journey.” Neil Supperstone, from Coolsportz, said: “Having the support of businesses that recognise the importance of our mission is essential for us, so I am pleased that MPA has once again committed their support.” “Without MPA’s support, the course would be funded out of the school’s PE budget or paid for by the parents, so they are making a huge difference within the local community. These are such important skills and we are always looking for other businesses to support our work in schools across the West Midlands.” For more information on Coolsportz and how to support their work, visit www.coolsportz **Chris Wheeler M.S Charity** - **£250.00** MPA Independent Financial Adviser, Chris Wheeler, completed Challenge 29 back in February and raised a whopping £965 for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) charity, the MS Society. After receiving his own MS diagnosis over six years ago, the charity which works to fund world-leading research, share the latest information and campaign for everyone's rights, is close to his heart. The Challenge 29, “Short month Big Challenge” encouraged people to get walking rolling or strolling to stop MS throughout March. Everyday Chris ran or cycled for 29 minutes to back the cause – some days easier than others, with a few misjudged timescales and trickier than expected hills causing challenges. Despite this, he still achieved a couple of personal bests for 1 and 5km and covered 220 km in total. On a Facebook post to thank everyone who had supported him in smashing his £100 target by raising a then £750, Chris said: “Well, I really was not expecting or could ever imagined how generous people would be. I can only say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated, it means a lot and you have all helped make a difference.” In another positive turn of events, as a result of the fundraising, a professional contact Chris had known for years got in touch and shared their own battle with MS. Since then the two have spoken and compared notes about their stories, finding unexpected support. The ultimate vision of the MS Society for a world free from the effects of MS. Its ultimate goal is to find treatments for everyone. Until then, it is working to make sure no one has to face MS alone. Everything it does is guided by people with MS. For more information on the work of the MS Society and for ways to get involved, visit: https://www.mssociety.org.uk/.
