π RECNET CHARITY FESTIVAL 2026 π
What an incredible day! π
Our annual Social Charity Tournament was packed with fantastic netball, laughter, friendship and plenty of fun, all while raising an amazing Β£1,600 for The Lighthouse for Perth supporting mental health and su***de prevention.
But this day is about so much more than netball.
Itβs about bringing people together, building friendships and creating connections across our netball community.
One of our favourite moments was seeing two ladies recognise each other and discover they had been at primary school together- and hadnβt seen each other for over 40 years!
What a wonderful reminder of the connections sport can create. π
