Passion
At Adderstone Foundation, we believe in the power of sport to break down barriers and bring communities together. We are proud of our long-standing sponsorship of the North East Visually Impaired Tennis Club (NEVITC), a pioneering initiative that offers blind and visually impaired individuals of all ages the chance to engage in tennis in an inclusive, supportive, and social environment. The Club is widely recognised as the largest and most successful of its kind in the UK, providing a platform for players to develop their skills and enjoy the camaraderie of sport.
Action
Supporting Growth and Success
Adderstone Foundation provides ongoing sponsorship and support for a variety of initiatives at NEVITC from coaching programmes to competitive events. The Club has gone from strength to strength with appointments of new coaches, sessions, and locations across the North East. As a result, many of the Clubs players have achieved exceptional success at National Championships and have been selected for GB trials, further highlighting the Clubs impact and excellence in the field of visually impaired tennis.
Fundraising and Community Engagement
Beyond sponsorship, Adderstone Foundation has been involved in organizing and supporting numerous fundraising events for NEVITC. These events, which include tournaments and social gatherings, help raise the necessary funds to ensure the Club can continue its valuable work. We are deeply connected to the vibrant and inspiring community at the Club, and we remain committed to supporting its continued success.
Impact
Through our ongoing sponsorship and fundraising efforts, we have seen firsthand the positive impact NEVITC has on its members, both on and off the court. The Club not only helps blind and visually impaired individuals develop their tennis skills but also fosters a sense of belonging and confidence, creating opportunities for personal growth and achievement. As the largest and most successful club of its kind in the UK, NEVITC continues to inspire others and prove that sport is truly for everyone. We are honored to be part of this journey and look forward to continuing our support for many years to come.
