When Tribe was founded, we decided from the outset that we would, where we can, give back.
Finding opportunities to support our Communities and relevant Charities has always been important to us, and we are proud that Tribe has a reputation for being a caring and benevolent company.
Tribe supports West Wickham FC, Trinity RFC and both the Worshipful Company of Insurers and the Company of Entrepreneurs, which exist for City of London tradition and charitable causes.
But the annual Tribe Charity Golf Day has become a real fixture and standout event for our friends and colleagues from across the insurance market.
To date, we have now raised over £32,000 for various charities and we plan to keep raising.
The Tribe Charity Golf Day was born…
For the past five years, we have been hosting our annual Tribe Charity Golf Day, where we come together with our friends, family and insurance colleagues to raise money for our chosen charity.
The Tribe Charity Golf Day 2023 was a huge success, here are the thoughts from Tribe co-founders Patrick Smith and Nick Stretton…
“We had it all and raised £7,150 in the process!”
At our 5th Annual Charity Golf Day we extended our relationship with The Addington GC, brilliant hosts and the course was in superb condition and a test for all our players. With 92 golfers our shotgun start saw our 23 teams congregating for breakfast, swarming the course together and then back for beers and our dinner, with the raffle, auction and golf prizes. Our supporters are too numerous to mention individually, but a special shout out to our friends at the Company of Entrepreneurs and our friend and Pro, Jon Good and our Auctioneer, Davis Selves.
Also a shout out to our amazing Tribe, Max, Amanda, Rebecca and Emma, who helped the day run so successfully.
The weather was superb, and everyone had a great time; both first-timers and our friends who have enjoyed our golf days before.
Huge congratulations to Robin Baker, Ben Hodgson, Leon Burton, Paul Wilderspin, Barry Beard, Sarah Jewell, Oscar Hills, Tony Hills, and Ollie Wilderspin for being the winners on the day. However, we like to think all 92 were winners for giving up their time to come along and support such a great cause and participate in such a worthwhile and fun day.
Our ambition is always to make our golf day stand out; different, special, supporting worthy causes, full of friendship and fun and something to look forward to!
“Thanks again to all the players, supporters, sponsors and donors – here’s to next year!”

Our Support for Trinity RFC
Sport has always been important to Patrick and Nick, as players and supporters. At Tribe, supporting grass roots sport is a vital component of our ESG efforts and our charitable approach. We believe that the clients that we work with value a partner who has charitable intent.
Trinity RFC (formerly the Old Mid Whitgiftian RFC, otherwise known as the Midwives) are the old boys of Trinity School in Croydon. Tribe’s Co-Founder Patrick went to school at Trinity, his Father taught there and Co-Founder Nick’s son, James, attended also. Patrick played for the Rugby Club for many successful years, as the 1st XV scrum-half.
As a keen supporter of community amateur sport, Tribe has been sponsoring Trinity RFC for 4 seasons, so far, and are committed to continue. By providing finances as their Primary Supporter, attending former players lunches and supporting the man of the match winners, Tribe is nicely embedded in the Club's activities.
Our financial support is invaluable and provides guaranteed income to the club and amongst other things, the money is used to provide player’s kit and equipment, hence our name appearing proudly on the shirts of the 1st XV.
