THE OBJECTIVES
Tara and Michael have determined the aims of the charity should be:-
* To provide the funds needed to encourage children aged between 5 and 11, from disadvantaged and underprivileged backgrounds, to learn how to play tennis.
* To finance the time and cost of employing young, qualified tennis coaches, whose task will be to conduct Tennis Clinics in primary schools where children are introduced to the sport for the first time.
* To provide financial assistance to those talented children to join local tennis clubs in order to develop their potential.
* To finance other tennis programmes after school hours and during school holidays, which will enable children not only to capitalise on their enthusiasm for the game, but also to improve their levels of concentration and self-confidence.
* To provide support to teachers to enable tennis coaching programmes to be delivered during PE periods within the schools
* To donate 25% of funds raised each year to the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust.
* GIYM is a part of the Tennis Foundation (TF). Charity no: 298175.
The Tennis Foundation is a national charity that supports the recreational development of the game and increased participation.
