RALLY4EVER in Wimbledon

In June, RALLY4EVER partnered with Tennis in Merton for the fourth year in a row to host multiple events in London. The two-hour tennis sessions were open to anyone in the community who may have been feeling lonely, struggling with their mental wellness, or just feeling like reconnecting with their community for company and friendship.

These events were free for all attendees, spread over three days at three different locations, and included a delicious lunch for the community. The first session was held at Cottenham Park, then Tamworth Recreation Ground, and the final day was held at Wimbledon Park, where we had around 100 attendees join! With guests like Emerson Jones, Arina Rodionova, Cara Black, Daria Saville, Pam Whytcross, and many repeat guests from previous years.

Besides these 3 great sessions, we also ran two corporate events: one for Pickles Athletics, where we had many Australian expats join, and another for Phillips, where we had an outstanding 66 employees participate.

After successfully hosting these events where hundreds of local residents engaged across 3 parks, and with thanks to our sponsors, we are now running our RALLY4EVER tennis program in the UK in partnership with Tennis in Merton. Here, 3 sessions a week are being held, and the community gets a chance to have access to tennis, improve their physical health, and social connections.
