A SPECIAL netball fundraising tournament in aid of mental health charity Mind raised £615.
The event was organised by Georgia O’Callaghan, coach at Ebbw Vale Netball Club, who said she was 'amazed' at the amount of money raised.
She organised the adults mixed netball tournament to raise fund for the charity after her own experiences working in the mental health field.
The venue had to be changed at the last minute due to the weather and Ms O’Callaghan said a big thank you to Bank House, Ebbw Vale, which sponsored the event and covered the cost of the venue for the day.

She said: “I chose Mind as I have experience working in the mental health department, have experienced how the mental health services support individuals and their families, and believe mental health services are not recognised and supported enough.
“Following the pandemic a lot of us have lost loved ones - family and friends, due to the struggles they have faced behind closed doors. They are not alone. My door is always open. It’s okay, not to be okay.”
