Charity padel tournament at Padel Social House — October 8
GIVE Northants, the county’s community foundation, has announced its first Charity Padel Tournament, taking place on Thursday 8 October 2026 from 12:00–15:00 at Padel Social House, Northampton, the tournament’s official venue partner.
The event invites local businesses, community groups and padel enthusiasts to form pairs or enter individually, competing for a good cause while enjoying an afternoon of sport, food and music.
Entry is £85.00 per pair or £42.50 per individual, with the day including lunch, a DJ and networking opportunities alongside the on-court action.
GIVE Northants is a Northampton-based charity (registered charity number 1120895) that raises funds from local businesses to support grassroots charities and community groups across Northamptonshire. Through its grant programme, it awards funding of up to £2,000 to small, community-led organisations tackling issues such as food insecurity, mental health, crisis intervention and support for disadvantaged adults and young people.
To date, GIVE Northants has awarded more than £50,000 to causes across the county, working with beneficiaries including The Spring Charity, KidsAid, Spencer Contact, Crusader Community Boating and the Frank Bruno Foundation.
Funds raised at the tournament will go directly towards this grant-giving work, reflected in the charity’s rallying cry: give support, give time, give hope, give funds, give dignity, give safety, give opportunity.
Commenting on the tournament, Tracy Whittaker-Smith MBE, Trustee of GIVE Northants, said:
“This tournament is a brilliant way to bring the county’s business and sporting communities together for a cause that matters. Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK, and pairing that energy with our mission of giving support, hope and opportunity to people across Northamptonshire feels like a natural fit. We’d love to see teams from across the county sign up and get involved.”
Padel Social House, described as “the home of Midlands padel,” will host the tournament across its courts, providing both the setting and expertise to ensure a smooth and enjoyable competition for players of all standards.
