Without a suitable clubhouse it can be difficult to create a tennis community. Places to store equipment, facilities such as kitchens and toilets – and somewhere to take refuge when it rains – can help to create a place where players want to spend time, join teams, take part in coaching and socialise together.

Grant funders will look kindly on applications that can show how building (or improving) a clubhouse could create better opportunities for more people to enjoy tennis.

Successful applications include:

Grants for new clubhouses at Cambourne LTC, Haverhill Tennis Club and Wortham Tennis Club
Grant for a clubhouse upgrade including disability access at Cambridge LTC
Grant to resurface the car park at Cambridge LTC

STEVE GOSWELL at Funding4Tennis offers FREE initial advice on all types of tennis funding, and a grant application service on a NO WIN NO FEE basis.
