PARTNERS & CHARITIES

Paul is partnered with BMW UK as a Friend of the Brand, and engages with customers and staff alike, via the BMW Driving Experience programme, as well as through after-dinner and motivational speaking events.

The Sporting Memories Foundation is a charity supporting older people across the UK living with dementia, depression and loneliness by engaging them in social activities and helping them to recall memories of watching or playing sport. By sharing memories of sporting moments and tapping into a passion for sport they help people to connect with others and with their past, reawakening positive thoughts and feelings that otherwise remain hidden away.

A long time supporter and ambassador for Sporting Memories, Paul became a Patron of Sporting Memories on World Alzheimer’s Day 2018.

It was an honour and a great privilege to be asked to become a Brand Ambassador for the BMMC. I see first hand through ITV4’s great coverage of the BTCC and its support races how hard the girls and boys of the British Motorsports Marshal Club work. Like the race drivers and teams who take the spotlight at the events, these people use their passion and sacrifice their weekends so us racers can race. I still compete part time and to see the smiles on a Marshals post when the chequered flag drops at the end of a race as you wave back is something I never want to see disappear. Let’s go and show the UK what we are about and enthuse members old and new!

From care and support to prevention, campaigning, fundraising and research, Diabetes UK is the country’s leading charity focused on tackling the fastest-growing health threat in the UK.

300,000 supporters, 5,000 volunteers and 6,000 healthcare professionals are working together to face the challenge of an illness affecting more people than dementia and cancer combined.

Paul provides personal insight into the illness having been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2002, just at the height of his racing career.
