A HARLOW community interest company is calling on local people to lace up their trainers and take to the court for a good cause.

The Parent Hood Hub® is hosting Lounge Aid 2026, a charity netball tournament taking place on Monday 30th June at 17:00 at the netball courts at Passmores Academy, Tracyes Road, Harlow, CM18 6JH.

Organised in partnership with Novo Lounge, the event brings together individuals and local business teams for a series of short, friendly matches. No elite skills are required, just a knowledge of the basic rules of play. Participants are encouraged to raise £50 each in sponsorship, with prizes on offer for both the winning team and the top fundraising team.

The event is supported by Netball England: West Essex, who will be supplying balls and umpires on the day.

All funds raised will go directly to The Parent Hood of Harlow CIC, a community interest company providing low-cost and free programmes for families with young children across Harlow, including postnatal support, early years activities, and wellbeing sessions.

Spaces are open to anyone aged 18 and over. Players should bring suitable netball clothing and footwear.
