Bishop’s Castle Tennis Club was delighted to hear from the Charity Commission that it has been awarded Charitable Status.

“This is brilliant news” said Club Chair Larry Monk. “We were delighted to receive an email in January confirming this award. It’s been a number of years in the planning and our Committee, who are all volunteers, have worked hard to achieve this with support from Club members”.

Larry goes on to say, “as a Club there has always been a commitment to serve our local community. Being awarded Charity status will improve the Club’s longer term stability and provide us with a great platform to seek grant funding. It’s also an opportunity to work with community partners to promote public use”.

Local patron and newly appointed Trustee, Sue Cooper MBE has successfully championed many other charities and, with her experience, looks forward to helping to deliver the Club’s charitable outcomes. Sue says, “It’s about being inclusive and facilitating access to all regardless of personal circumstance”.

Sue goes on to say, “tennis is a great sport for people of all ages and at every level from beginners to the experienced. To enable enjoyment of the game and improvement of skills is such a positive thing for both mind and body not to mention the social aspect. Over the years I’ve made great friends playing tennis”.
