(UK, 1140804) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,055.91
(UK, 1140804) Give it Your Max (GIYM) was set up in memory of Max Stotesbury who died aged 18 in a car accident. He was a keen tennis player and a qualified PTR tennis coach who assisted at the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative (WJTI) in his spare time. The charity pays for qualified coaches to introduce tennis to primary age school children in state schools. Clinics are held within the schools and at clubs and other venues during after school hours and in the holidays. Most of the children are from underprivilaged backgrounds. In additions to locating kids with potential talent for the game, the aim is to provide new interests in life for the children and to improve their levels of concentration and self confidence. Give it your Max centres have been set up in Reading, Canterbury (East Kent), Peckham and Birmingham. An annual contribution to coaching at the Harris Academy, Merton is also made. Approximately £15,000 p.a. is spent at each centre. Rachel Barnett was introduced to tennis during a GIYM session at Churchend Primary School, Tilehurst, Reading in 2008. In July 2010, she represented Berkshire in the County Cup as first seed and won all her matches, many against national level players. For further information, go to giveityourmax.org
