G4P partners with Aitch for Padel Party

We celebrated World Down Syndrome Day (21 March) by hosting Aitch's Padel Party to raise vital funds for the Down's Syndrome Association (DSA).

The Brit-Award winner and Game4Padel ambassador welcomed people from all backgrounds to try their hand at padel before a fun tournament and charity auction.

The day was held at the G4P-built SMASH Court at THG Studios in Aitch's home city of Manchester, with our coaches providing intro sessions and running the Americano-style tournament afterwards.

The charity auction also helped raise funds and featured a range of exclusive prizes, including a signed shirt from Wayne Rooney, a signed Manchester City kit, and a premium golf experience at Loch Lomond.

Aitch said: "It was class to host something like this. The work the Down’s Syndrome Association do means so much to my family so combining this with my love of padel and seeing the smiles on all the kids’ faces was special.

“A huge thanks to everyone who has supported the event and people can still visit the auction link if they’d like to donate.”

Michael Gradon, CEO at Game4Padel, said: "This event perfectly captured what padel is all about, fun, inclusivity and bringing people together. We’re incredibly proud to have hosted such a special day alongside our investor Aitch and to support the fantastic work of the Down’s Syndrome Association."

Aitch made a significant investment in Game4Padel in 2025, partnering with us to help them grow the sport across the UK. The Padel Party forms part of our wider commitment to growing the game in an inclusive and accessible way, ensuring that more people can enjoy the physical, mental and social benefits of padel.
