02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our vision is to contribute to and enhance the health, fitness, personal development, self-esteem, and wellbeing of the residents of Scotland and beyond through affordable sport, leisure and heritage activities. It is our long-term intention to use tennis and access to indoor and outdoor spaces to achieve our aims. In June 2025, we launched our ‘Learn to Lead’ programme, delivering a practical course for physical education and primary teachers covering a wide range of content on how to best deliver starter tennis in schools at any time of the year. We have also created ‘Tennis in 10’ – a fun starter programme aimed at parents, teachers, coaches and volunteers – which showcases ten simple, progressive ways to give children the best possible start in developing the skills required to play the game. Planned launch Spring 26. We continue to explore other ideas to fulfill and deliver our vision.
