A message from Mary:
As a lifelong member of Criccieth Tennis Club, mother of four and having played as a junior here too, I am a dedicated member of the Tennis Committee holding a dual role of Safeguarding Officer and Chairperson.
I have gained the LTA Safeguarding qualification as part of my role and my position is there to protect members of the club who may need support.
Members who wish to raise a matter of concern may do so knowing that I shall deal with it sensitively, confidentially, discreetly and with honesty of purpose. Email me here cttcsafeguarding@gmail.com
