Rhondda Lawn Tennis Club

Welfare Officer - Naomi Williams

I am a loyal member of  the Rhondda Lawn Tennis Club, since hitting my first ball at the age of 4 during Mini Tennis sessions. I have continued to enjoy regular tennis, playing socially, and supporting teams during the summer and winter  leagues. 

I have gained the Lawn Tennis Association Safeguarding qualification, with a view to safeguard and protect members 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.
