GIVE IT YOUR MAX

We work in some of the most deprived areas of the UK, paying for qualified coaches to introduce tennis to children in primary schools within the state sector. We also fund pre/post school activities which complement our in-schools programme. We provide opportunities for children & encourage them to play tennis as well as maximise their personal potential through participation in the sport.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
