A WORCESTERSHIRE homeless charity, Maggs Day Centre, hosted its biggest fundraiser at MSJ sports centre on June, 23.
The day was filled with 31 netball and mixed netball teams and raised £1372.25.
Over 200 people took part on the day – which had face painting, a raffle stand filled the prizes from local businesses and food from Dirty D’s and Calabbria Streetfood.
Melissa Blewitt, marketing and relations manager at Maggs Day Centre said: “On behalf of the team at Maggs, we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who took part in the tournament on Sunday.
“From umpires to players, the team at MSJ Sports Centre, Dirty D’s Calabbria Streetfood and all of the local businesses who donated towards our raffle prizes, the whole day was fantastic, with lots of players expressing how much of a great day they had.”
Prizes were donated from businesses such as West Midlands Safari Park, Worcester County Cricket Club, Malvern Senerity, Mac and Jacs, Malvern Theatre, and more.
Melissa added: “The money raised will be going towards Maggs to help us continue our services, whether this be to continue food and support for our service users in our day centres or our countywide outreach teams.
“This event followed all of the wonderful feedback we had from our teams last year at our first-ever sports tournament, so we feel fortunate that we’ve managed to complete another successful event and raise a fantastic amount of money.
“We’re looking forward to making it bigger and better next year.”
