Activeace

Activeace All Stars CIC are a non for profit Community Interest company; our aims are to create and deliver inclusive sports and recreation activities to encourage participation and community cohesion. We are proud to be Nottingham’s leading provider in disability tennis, providing impairment specific and fully inclusive sessions to adults and children. Our company is family ran by Martyn and Louise Jones, Martyn has been a tennis coach since leaving school 20 years ago and has become established and well known for his delivery of disability tennis. Martyn and Louise founded Activeace All Stars a year ago after Martyn spent many years working with disabled players facing a wide range of challenges when accessing tennis. Martyn and Louise have personal experience of the challenges faced by disabled players, after encountering barriers to participation with their disabled son Jay, who suffers from Asperger’s, Martyn and Louise decided that it was time to shape tennis to become accessible to all, since then Martyn has worked tirelessly to host inclusive sessions and support community groups and schools with similar aims. Louise joined the company in January 2014 to begin the journey of the community interest company and since the inception of Activeace All Stars in May 2014 the company has gone from strength to strength. Activeace are now working in partnership with local councils and other non for profit organisations to deliver inclusive tennis, impairment specific tennis and sports sessions within the community.
