ROLL OF HONOUR:

TENNIS IN THE COMMUNITY

A critical element of Northern Vision events is the inclusion and development of sport programmes for children. We currently organise and operate one of the UK’s largest tennis programmes, which is designed not only to find and nurture a star of the future, but to use sport to break-down boundaries, build team spirit and develop critical social skills.
 
Northern Vision launched an initiative called Healthy Active Lifestyles in 2010, where more than 6,000 children participated in tennis clinics, other sporting activities and watched the tennis on centre court.
