SNOOKER legend Jimmy White will be playing pool with people in Southampton at the weekend to raise awareness of credit unions.

White, a ten-time title winner, will be at an event at Chamberlayne Leisure Centre tomorrow organised by UKIP Southampton Itchen candidate Kim Rose.

The free event at the centre in Weston Lane will run from noon to 3pm and is being held to raise awareness of credit unions and foodbanks in the city.

Mr Rose said: “We’re going to encourage people to use credit unions not payday loans, which have huge interest rates.

“Jimmy White is a friend of mine and a down-to-earth guy and this is something he feels strongly about.”
