Last week, we hosted our first-ever South Coast Charity Padel Tournament at Chichester Racquets & Fitness Club.

The sun was shining, the rallies were competitive and most importantly, we raised £6,910 for Chichester District Foodbank – including £910 through our charity raffle. As part of our 20th anniversary Platinum Pledges, we will be matching every donation up to £10,000, doubling the total impact.

We were thrilled to welcome an incredible mix of local businesses on the day, including: Manhire Associates, Wilten Construction, Handelsbanken, Realest, LSH, Boyle and Summers, Freeths, Amiri Construction, Vibe, Vail Williams, Marshall Clark, CBRE, Hellier Langston, HNW Architects and DTRE.

A huge thank you also goes to the local businesses who donated raffle prizes: Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa, Montezuma’s, Forge Flowers, Chichester Festival Theatre, Chichester Racquets Club, Fluid Adventures, Boxgrove Clinic, Cocoa Loco, The Beauty Island Sanctuary, Devil’s Dyke Distillery, Denmans Gardens, Kinsbrook Vineyard, Fishers Farm Park, and Goodwood Races – and to Flapjackery for keeping everyone going with their delicious flapjacks. Signs were kindly donated by The Sign Shop.

The competition was fierce, with the top three spots going to Kingsbrige, Hellier Langston and Vail Williams.

It's never too soon to start practicing for next year!
