Story

The main goal of Bright Ideas for Tennis is to encourage more people to play more tennis. Our fantastic sport has been medically proven to not only improve ones physical health, but also to aid and maintain ones mental well-being too.Over the past 6 years, we pride ourselves on knowing that we have personally coached approximately 8000 players, have raised in excess of £600,000, and have provided a further 5000 hours of free community coaching schemes as a result.Our fundraising events have helped clubs to floodlight existing courts, resurface tired surfaces, and provide disability access / equipment where needed.

Now Frindsbury LTC needs your help! They run the largest tennis LD disability programme in the UK but their great work is constantly interrupted by the weather. They are hoping to raise enough money to put a roof over their tennis courts so that they can continue to help adults and children develop their skills and simply enjoy playing tennis without cancellations and delays.

To raise awareness about the possibilities for disabled children and the impact Jimmy's Tennis has had, I will be skydiving on Friday 13th March to raise money for their desperately needed roof for their tennis courts. 

Please see my updates below to get some more information and to see a great example of the tennis team's hard work for our community and country.
