Phil was a dedicated and much-loved husband, father, friend and colleague, who sadly passed away in January 2022 following his battle with cardio angiosarcoma. He was an avid squash player and wanted to leave a legacy to support other people who share his passion. In particular, Phil wanted to help aspiring young players and people who may need a little help to start or keep playing the game.

With Phil’s vision in mind, the Aiimi team partnered with England Squash to create The Phil Hancey Squash Fund in his memory. The fund supports both talented young players and the wider community through two funding opportunities. We have given out over 20 grants now and are looking to add more money to the fund pot so that we can continue suporting people and communities to play the sport that Phil loved so much.

To do this, there are two events taking palce this year!

On 27th April 4 members of the England Squash team will take on the Manchester Marathon relay. Donna, Kirsten, Paul and Reece will all be taking on 6.5 miles each to raise money for the fund.

Following on from this, on 5th May, 4 of the Aiimi team will be taking part in the MK Marathon relay, Char, Caitlin, Jordan and Paul.

Any donations will go to the England Squash Foundation to be used to support squash players and communities via the Phil Hancey Squash Fund. You can find out more about hiw Aiimi and Englad Squash are working together here0620 - https://www.englandsquash.com/get-involved/the-phil-hancey-squash-fund
