Worplesdon Tennis Club has raised over £1,000 for halow, the most the club has ever raised in a single year!

To celebrate the members’ fundraising efforts, supported adults from halow’s Building Futures programme visited the club on Friday 6 November for a tennis coaching session and cheque presentation.

It was an opportunity to try something new, spend time with club members and celebrate the difference their support will make.

Reflecting on the visit, Chairman Sam Pake said:

"We suspected the visit would be successful but that proved to be an understatement.  What they may have lacked in tennis skills (like us), they certainly made up for by lighting up our club with their attitude, cheerfulness, infectious laughter and smiles and their presence will be remembered for a very long time."

Support from local clubs like Worplesdon helps halow create opportunities for adults with learning disabilities and autism to build confidence, develop independence and feel part of their community.

A huge thank you to Sam and the team at Worplesdon Tennis Club for their generosity and warm welcome.
