Two Courts, One Incredible Cause: Our Charity Padel Tournament for ME & DEE

27 August 2026

At Rhodes Wealth Management, we're passionate about supporting the communities around us and giving back to causes that make a real difference. That's why we were proud to host our 12-Hour Charity Padel Tournament in aid of the fantastic ME & DEE charity on 30th July 2026.

The event brought together colleagues, clients, friends and members of the local community for a day packed with energy, teamwork and fundraising. With two courts in action throughout the day, there was a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish as players stepped onto the court, supporters cheered from the sidelines and everyone came together to support a truly worthwhile cause.

Supporting a Charity That Changes Lives

ME & DEE is a remarkable charity that provides respite breaks and special experiences for families facing incredibly difficult circumstances, particularly those with children living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Through the experiences they create, families are given the opportunity to spend precious time together, make lasting memories and enjoy moments of joy during some of life's toughest challenges.

Their work has a profound impact on the families they support, and we were honoured to help raise awareness and funds to support their mission.

A Day of Determination and Community

At the heart of the event were Tom and Josh, who took on the impressive challenge of playing padel for 12 hours. Their commitment, determination and enthusiasm helped drive the event forward, with participants joining throughout the day across both courts to keep the action going. The challenge was no small feat, but the support from everyone involved kept the energy high from the first serve to the final point.

While there was certainly plenty of competitive spirit on display, the day was about much more than sport. It was about bringing people together, building connections and making a positive difference through a shared commitment to a fantastic cause.

The Power of Community

One of the most rewarding parts of the day was seeing the support from our wider community. Whether people joined us on court, made a donation, sponsored the event or simply came along to show their support, every contribution helped make the day what it was.

Events like this are a great reminder of what can be achieved when people come together behind a shared purpose. The generosity and encouragement we experienced throughout the day were truly incredible and reflected the community spirit that is so important to us at Rhodes Wealth Management.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

Events like this simply would not be possible without the generosity and support of our sponsors. Their contributions helped us bring the day together, maximise our fundraising efforts and create an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

We are incredibly grateful to every business and individual who supported the tournament. By backing the event, they have helped us raise valuable funds and awareness for ME & DEE, enabling the charity to continue creating special experiences and lasting memories for the families they support.

Partnerships like these demonstrate the power of local businesses and communities working together to make a meaningful difference. We are proud to have worked alongside such supportive organisations and would like to extend our sincere thanks for helping make the day such a success.

Thank You

A huge thank you to everyone who played, donated, volunteered, sponsored and supported the event in any way. Your contributions helped raise valuable funds and awareness for ME & DEE, allowing them to continue the amazing work they do for families who need it most.

Special thanks to Tom and Josh for taking on such a demanding challenge and helping make the day so memorable.

We are incredibly proud of what was achieved and look forward to supporting more charitable initiatives in the future. Together, we demonstrated the power of community, teamwork and generosity, and we're grateful to everyone who helped make our ME & DEE Charity Padel Tournament such a success.

Because at Rhodes Wealth Management, giving back is about more than fundraising. It's about making a positive difference in the lives of others and supporting the communities that matter to us.
