We provide primary schools, across the UK, with free equipment and follow-on coaching.</p> <p>With our fundraising campaign, 'Kids on Court', we aim to take tennis to even more children, with new initiatives being launched later this year which will make tennis accessible to everyone.</p> <p>In addition to the TennisTrail, we run a number of other activities including Trailblazers and Assessment Days. These are designed to identify and nurture young tennis talent, providing youngsters with funding and coaching so that they can develop their tennis skills. We already have 35 children playing tennis at regional and even national level, all being helped with their tennis development through the Foundation</p> <p>The Cliff Richard Tennis Development Trust</p> </body>
