It is hard not to be impressed by the skill and commitment of the Paralympians, Invictus games competitiors and disabled sports people in general, but have you ever thought about the issues faced by disabled sports people and spectators on a daily basis? We want to look carefully at the accessibility of our club so we can work toward making it more accessible for disabled sports people and spectators. Our aim is to ensure our club is accessible to all, to encourage disability sport and disabled spectators. Sometimes just a few changes can make the world of difference. We want to start with our biggest and hardest challenge...the accessible toilet.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Disabled people face issues every day when trying to either play or watch sport. From children to adults the problems prevent everyone in our community using and enjoying sports facilities. By starting to make changes, whilst raising awareness, we can help change our community and enable everyone to play and enjoy sport together.
Steps to get it done:
Raise awareness of disability issues. Integrate the disabled and able bodied communities.

VolunteerFrinton Lawn Tennis Club has been one of the country's finest grass court clubs since Edwardian times. Situated in the beautiful seaside town of Frinton on Sea, the club offers to its members and visitors,12 beautiful competition standard grass courts.
We would like our wonderful club to be accessible to all. We would love to encourage and develop disability tennis. Set in an old listed building with lots of Edwardian features, not many alterations have taken place over the years.
Following an accessibilty audit of the premises we would like to start by fitting an accesible toilet in the premises and this is what we want to raise the money for.
The accessible toilet is just the beginning for us. We hope step by step to improve the accessibilty and develop disability tennis here at Frinton.
