Meet our fabulous Young Art Oxford Sponsors!
We are absolutely delighted to announce our incredible Headline Sponsor Hadingham Kirk and Supporting Sponsor Stoneworld. With their generous support we are able to host the competition and exhibition knowing that all funds raised will benefit the children and young people we support through our programmes and for this we are immensely grateful! We are so excited to have Hadingham Kirk and Stoneworld as part of our team, together bringing the children of Oxfordshire this wonderful opportunity to enjoy their creativity and to support their peers in Kenya, Uganda and Lesotho with access to education, so that they too can have a brighter future.
Proud Headline Sponsor of Young Art Oxford in Support of Rafiki Thabo
At Hadingham Kirk, we understand the power of small beginnings. As landscapers, we see how something as simple as a single seed or bulb can transform an empty space into a thriving garden – full of colour and life. These tiny elements grow into something beautiful, attracting bees, butterflies, and people alike, creating a space that not only looks vibrant but nurtures and brings with it a sense of peace.
This is exactly why we’re proud to support Rafiki Thabo and the Young Art Oxford event. Just as a garden blossoms and flourishes from the smallest beginnings, Rafiki Thabo helps young people grow through access to education; planting the seeds of opportunity that grow into confidence, independence, and a brighter future.
We believe that little things truly do matter, and by nurturing potential, whether in a garden or in a child’s life – we can create ripples of positive change for generations to come.

Proud Supporting Sponsor of Young Art Oxford in Support of Rafiki Thabo
At Stoneworld (Oxfordshire), we believe in supporting initiatives that empower the next generation and foster creativity, which is why we were drawn to sponsor the Young Art Oxford event. This competition provides an incredible platform for children to showcase their artistic talents, allowing them to have their work displayed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum, one of the oldest and most renowned museums in the world. It’s a unique opportunity for young artists to gain recognition, boost their confidence, and inspire others.
Moreover, we are passionate about supporting causes that make a tangible impact on young people’s lives. The Young Art Oxford event doesn’t just celebrate art; it also raises vital funds for the Rafiki Thabo Foundation. This charity works tirelessly to provide educational opportunities for children in Africa, helping them attend school and university. At Stoneworld, we are proud to contribute to this initiative, as education is a cornerstone of progress, and we are committed to making a difference in the lives of children who may not otherwise have access to such opportunities.

Stoneworld is a family-run, Oxfordshire company that started off as a small stone supplier and is now an industry leader, supplying natural stone to local and nation-wide projects, from landscaping and garden stones, to internal and bespoke masonry stonework. By sponsoring this event, we hope to help nurture not only the artistic abilities of young people in Oxfordshire but also to extend that support to children in need across the globe, empowering them through education and creating a brighter future for all.
