Diversity Tennis is dedicated to providing tennis to absolutely anyone. Our sessions in Ely help improve mental and physical wellbeing, reduce isolation, and increase access to sport. During the financial year 2024-2025, our activities included: - Walking Tennis continued, and expanded with evening sessions, our tennis at a gentler pace to a diverse group of participants, such as older adults, wheelchair users, and people with short- and long-term health conditions. Many have previously been unable to access appropriate exercise. Benefits of increased exercise are clear and can include increased mobility, improved balance, and a reduced risk of falls for older adults. Each session is followed by a tea-and-cake social which has provided a vital space for connection, reducing isolation, and building support networks. - SEND and After-School Tennis are adapted to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in developing confidence, coordination, and enjoyment of physical activity. - Diversity Day, a free community event welcoming people of all ages and abilities to try tennis in a safe, inclusive environment. - Community outreach – we’ve worked with veterans’ groups, social prescribers, and attended events like Ely Pride to connect with people who might not otherwise feel that tennis is for them. - Promotion and awareness – featured on local BBC and ITV, and nominated for Cambridgeshire LTA Tennis for All Award (2024) and BBC Make a Difference Award, helping to raise awareness of inclusive tennis and encouraging new participants to get involved All activities were delivered free or at low cost to participants and adapted to individual physical, mental, or social needs. The sessions enabled participants to stay active, feel included, and build lasting connections within their community.
We continue to stay in close contact with the people and groups we work with, and we listen to their views throughout the year. - Participants often share thoughts during sessions and over tea and cake after Walking Tennis sessions. This social gathering provides a key opportunity for conversation, allowing us to gather valuable feedback in a relaxed, informal setting. This approach has led to the development of new programs, such as our evening sessions, which extended the hours we were able to provide. - Parents and carers of children attending SEND sessions have shared comments about their children’s confidence, enjoyment, and development. - Teachers and school staff have provided feedback that directly informs our approach to working with children with SEND. We used this to adapt our sessions to focus on confidence-building and social skills, in addition to physical development. - We stay connected with organisations including social prescribers, and veterans’ groups, who help raise awareness of our sessions and share perspectives on local needs. - Our repeated nominations for awards recognised our approach and helped reinforce the value of our work to others.
