Empower Padel is set to give even more women a pathway into the sport after agreeing a three-year partnership with leading wealth management group Evelyn Partners.
Empower Padel, run by the hugely popular Pepita Stonor, is a global community for female padel players that strives to ensure every woman can access a supportive community to learn, play and enjoy a team sport.
Through the partnership, Empower Padel and Evelyn Partners will host a series of events to inspire women and girls across the country to take up a team sport, such as padel, to not only boost their physical and mental well-being but also widen their network and build new friendships.
The first partnership event on March 7 to celebrate International Women’s Day’ will highlight the transformative power of sports on young girls, aligning with the Evelyn Partners’ brand promise to inspire ‘what’s next’.
Hosted by Empower Padel at the prestigious The Hurlingham Club in South West London, attendees will hear from some of the country’s top female sports stars including former Winter Olympics alpine skier Chemmy Alcott, Olympic hockey gold medallist Sophie Bray and tennis broadcaster Gigi Salmon.
Andrew Middleton, Group Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer of Evelyn Partners, commented: “We’re thrilled to be working with Empower Padel as they harness the power of this fast-growing sport to bring women together across the UK. Through our partnership, we hope to support Empower Padel to further extend their community, inspiring women through sport, networking and helping to make meaningful connections.”
Pep, founder of Empower Padel, said: “We are delighted to welcome Evelyn Partners as Empower Padel’s first partner for 2025. Their commitment to supporting women and girls in sport aligns perfectly with our mission to create more opportunities for women to return to, start, or stay in sport with padel.
“With fantastic support from Evelyn Partners, we can drive meaningful change, expand access, and inspire more women and girls to get involved in this wonderful team sport. We look forward to working together to grow the game and build a stronger, more connected community.”
Evelyn Partners, which has £63 billion in assets under management, also supports The Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic, the second edition of which will be held at The Hurlingham Club in May.
