A CHARITY tennis tournament has served up £4,000 for family support charity Home-Start Winchester and Districts.

Organised by Kerry Coleman, over 100 players enjoyed a hectic morning of matches on courts in and around Winchester, followed by a picnic lunch at Longwood.

Now a firm fixture in the tennis calendar, players were able to shop for bags, clothing, pashminas, jewellery and toiletries from stallholders over lunch and there was even an opportunity to enjoy a reflexology session after their hard morning’s play.

The money raised will support the charity’s work with young families within a twelve mile radius of the city, whose volunteers work alongside parents in their own homes to help raise their self-confidence and ability to cope.
