Steve has been instrumental in helping our club get two grants to have sufficient funds to build our clubhouse. He has worked tirelessly and provided fantastic advice throughout. I would recommend him to anyone else looking for funding.
Arif Kibria Chairman Cambourne LTC and Cambridgeshire LTA Treasurer
Steve Goswell has raised significant amounts of grant funding for our club from multiple sources dealing effectively with all aspects of the application process. I have subsequently seen him act for many other clubs and would have no hesitation in using his services again.
Tim Arthur, Current Chair of Cambridge LTC
Steve Goswell has opened our eyes to a host of funding opportunities for Tennis Clubs and has done outstanding work in Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire LTA fully support his work.
Richard Barnes, former LTA Councillor and former Chair of Cambridgeshire LTA
Thanks to the guidance and experience from Steve Goswell in preparing our application we were able to obtain a grant to fit out the shell of our clubhouse which included toilet and kitchen facilities and somewhere for members and friends to meet in comfort. This has been a great benefit in helping to attract new members.
Steve Williams, Secretary of Haverhill Tennis Club
Steve has helped us to obtain over £13,000 so we could resurface our two courts and continue our charitable work, bringing tennis to children and young people.
Gill Pountain, Bourn Sports Club
Steve was the most important link in the development plans of Cambridge Lawn Tennis Club, without which we wouldn’t have had the money to move forward. When he started work with us our coaching programme had to be rebuilt and we needed to resurface two courts, completely resurface a large car park and our Clubhouse was overdue for a major upgrade. His ability to find funding partners and his persistence at securing the cash for all of our projects was nothing short of a miracle, and the vibrant club we have today is testimony to the value of all his amazing work.
Liz Hill, Former Chair, Cambridge Lawn Tennis Club
I have worked with Steve and Funding4Tennis for 7 years. During this time he has found funding to provide tennis / multisports coaches for a number of groups I have been involved with, including schools, charities and community interest groups. Steve’s wealth of knowledge and contacts in this area are second to none and his professionalism and reliability make him a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending using his services.
Caroline Ward, Manager, Cambridge University Student Community Action
Steve, thank you for all your help and advice – it has been a pleasure dealing with you. Chatteris Tennis Club is committed to improving its facilities for the future and I do hope you can continue to advise us.
Shona Kent, Secretary, Chatteris St Peter’s Tennis Club
We are extremely grateful to Steve Goswell for recognising the potential of our tennis club. The task of acquiring funds had seemed daunting and unachievable. With Steve’s help, inspiration and encouragement we have obtained grants of over £15,000 and we are now well on our way to becoming a fully active club offering newly resurfaced courts for tennis in our community.
Liz Stott, Duxford Tennis Club
Steve Goswell’s help in obtaining grants for Ely Tennis Club from 2007 onwards has been pivotal in the improving the membership and facilities at our Club. He helped us to obtain grants totalling £48,500 for capital works and £12,150 for coaching projects – a total of £60,650.
Sue Didlick, former Chair of Ely Tennis Club
Steve’s guidance over grant applications was vital. He remained in close contact at every stage and must have put a lot of time into the project. We were awarded grants amounting to £19,000 resulting in re-surfacing of our courts. Steve and Cambridgeshire LTA also offered guidance on the future running of the club which has been re-invigorated in consequence. We now have every prospect of being able to fund future maintenance without reliance on grants.
Martin Eaton, Secretary, Fen Drayton Tennis Club
Steve turned our dream of building a third court and installing floodlights into reality by helping us win £76,000 of funding for the project within 12 months of first meeting us. He helped identify promising grant awarding bodies and then helped us write compelling grant applications, with a 100% success rate. Thank you, Steve!
Lawrence Hopkins, Treasurer, Haslingfield Lawn Tennis Club
Steve has provided Cambourne Lawn Tennis Club invaluable advice on how to access external funding for our new 3-court project. He can help cut through the red tape and highlight the key requirements external funders are seeking.
