We currently have over 100 participants a month who have an impairment or disability. We would like to continue and expand the work we currently doing to guarantee opportunities for all. To do this we require funds to support those currently taking part and to give more opportunities for new participants and groups.
Why they need our serviceHere at Southbourne Tennis Club we would like to ensure that we continue the legacy left from the London 2012 Paralympics that leads to many more disabled and impaired people having the chance to participate in sports. Since 2012 Southbourne Tennis Club have been giving the opportunity to many people with different impairments and disabilities to participate in tennis. We strive to have an open door policy and be able to offer tennis as an all-inclusive sport.
Plan and expected resultsWe currently have over 100 participants a month who have an impairment or disability. We would like to continue and expand the work we currently doing to guarantee opportunities for all. In recognition of our good work in 2016 we were awarded The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) Regional winners for Best Disability Programme and have been the winners of LTA Dorset Club of the year from 2012-2016 mainly to our inclusive tennis work and tennis in the community projects.
