Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are being offered a free year`s tennis coaching in Thanet, funded by local businesses and club members. `Rally for Change` is a collaboration between Net Gain Communities CIC and Infinity Tennis and raised money from the local community which will pay for sixteen local players to have two coaching sessions a week plus a free racket. Participants should be in receipt of free school meals and live close to Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Herne Bay or Faversham tennis club and they must be referred by their school. The project aims to teach new skills but also develop discipline, improve health and well being and open up new social opportunities for young people. Jo Burn reports.
