Charity Beach Volleyball heads to Brighton

by Ethos public relations

National disability charity, Action For Kids, is asking local businesses to take part in its first ever Beach Volleyball Tournament in Brighton.

The charity is hosting the fun-filled afternoon event on Friday 17 September, from 2pm to 6pm, at NIVEA SUN® Yellowave on the seafront, and is keen to hear from businesses and individuals who are up for the challenge!

It is the first time that Action For Kids is bringing the event - which is already a big hit with city workers in London - to the seafront, and it is encouraging teams from across Brighton and Hove to swap their suits for their sports gear and compete in the exciting tournament.

Action For Kids supports children and young people with physical and learning disabilities and their families and carers across the UK, and is already helping to make a difference to the lives of youngsters in the Brighton and Hove areas.

Sarah Greene, Events Fundraiser at Action For Kids, said: “The Brighton Beach Volleyball Tournament will be a fantastic event and we are really hoping that local businesses will sign up to take part! No experience is necessary and the rules are simple.”

There will be four groups competing against each other and the winner of each group will go through into the semi final – the winners of which will go on to the grand final.

“So if you fancy a team-building event that’s fun and rewarding, please get in touch,” Sarah said.

Trophies will be presented to the winning team and the runner-up at the end of the day and following the grand final, everyone can enjoy a barbeque on the deck.

Action For Kids is looking for teams including men and women, and is asking for each team to pledge to raise a minimum of £400 in sponsorship for the charity.
