Our club is run entirely by volunteers, a who dedicate some of their spare time to different aspects of the club, helping to keep it running! We have been awarded a certificate in recognition of our volunteering by Active Lancashire, as part of Volunteers’ Week. As one of Sport England’s Active Partnerships, they bring partners together for Sport and Physical Activity, working together to encourage active lifestyles and remove barriers to participants.
We have a large, enthusiastic team of volunteers and this is what some of them say:
"It's a pleasure to volunteer, not just for the community, but I get great pleasure from it too and enjoy the tennis more because of it."
"I live on my own so it's very much a social thing too. I enjoy volunteering as Membership Secretary as I enjoy welcoming people to the Club."
"I enjoy using my accountancy skills to support the tennis club as role of Treasurer."
"It's really nice to share something I love back with the kids, as a junior organiser."
"I want to give something back because I've had so much help over the years from a young age."
"Volunteering is a great thing to do and helps keep a community spirit going."
"Being more involved in the Club, gives me a deeper connection with it and the members. Being able to make a real difference to others gives me a sense of purpose and a worthwhile dimension to my life, it's so rewarding."
Thank you for everything you do, the Club would simply not run without you all!
