THE All Ireland Polo Club in Dublin’s Phoenix Park played host to an outstanding day of sport and philanthropy on Sunday, September 7th, with a Charity Polo Lunch in aid of The Down Syndrome Centre.

This year’s event built on the success of previous years, continuing to grow in scale and spirit. The inspiration to support The Down Syndrome Centre came following a Leopardstown luncheon, where Derville Meade and Sophie Barrett - whose youngest son Seve (3) has Down Syndrome - discussed bringing the charity into focus for 2025. Their input, along with the commitment of many others, helped shape a remarkable occasion that combined sport, style and generosity.
