On 20th June, myself and Tommy Hughes will be playing padel continuously for 18 hours— to raise vital funds for Akwaaba Volunteers, an inspiring charity based in Ghana dedicated to supporting children through education and sport. Having already spent over five months on the ground in Ghana, I have witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of their work, while Tommy will be visiting in May to see it for himself. Since 2016, Akwaaba Volunteers has been transforming lives in Accra, supporting more than 250 children every day—whether by paying school fees, improving access to healthcare, or helping families start small businesses. Their mission is simple but powerful: to create opportunities for as many children as possible to thrive, using education and sport to build confidence, teamwork, and essential life skills. Every donation will help them continue this incredible work and make a lasting difference. If you would like to know more about Akwaaba Volunteers, please contact me!
