02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The charity's objects are to promote, advance and further charitable purposes and activities through the provision of accessible facilities, parkland and services which enable participation in sport and enhance and contribute to the health, fitness and personal development and wellbeing of the residents of Stirlingshire (and beyond) through sporting heritage and activities, with particular focus on tennis and golf. Since launching the Learn To Lead Programme in June 2025, we have made excellent progress with more than 30 schools across Scotland involved, with many more in pipeline. In 2026, we launched ‘Learn to Lead Mums’, applying our programme workshops, content and resources to encourage mums and grandmothers to get involved in delivering fun starter tennis sessions in clubs, parks, schools, community centres and in their own homes or gardens. We have also created ‘Tennis in 10’ – a fun starter programme aimed at parents, teachers, coaches and volunteers.
