Venue Support

Berkshire Tennis has available funds which it wishes to offer as loans to assist clubs in delivering a small facility project or an activity intended to increase membership, participation, regular play, coaching and competition for all ages. The club should apply to other possible sources of funding as well as requesting a loan from Berkshire Tennis. Application should be made before the start of a project.

We aim to provide venues with some useful resources or support to enable them to grow their tennis venues. All of the below information is available on the LTA website by following the links provided.
