Hilary Boyce, The Prince's Trust Central Region - Tennis Project 2015 - June 2015
Tipton Sports Academy

Can I say a big thank you once again to you and all your team for making our tennis project a great success for yet another year. It is always such a pleasure to deal with you all and let’s hope we are given the funding to run it again in 2016. All the school staff have said how wonderful Craig, Liam and Andy have been with the young people and they really appreciate the care taken to engage with them despite some difficult behaviour at times. I got the young people and staff to write feedback comments about the project yesterday at lunch and am attaching a scanned copy for you and the others to have a look at. There are some great comments from both staff and pupils including "Craig has awesome shoes!!” which made me laugh. Emma Johnson from Walsall Academy sent a text yesterday to say "Please pass on my thanks to the boys at Tipton as they always make us so welcome”.
