Our club has been a part of the Norbury community for 135 years, but in November 2023 we were shocked to learn that Croydon Council has announced plans to sell our land to help close their budget deficit.
This is a crucial moment in our history!
We have been given first refusal to purchase the land with a 999-year lease and we now have a chance to ensure that our beloved tennis club remains a thriving part of the community and does not fall into the hands of developers.
Whilst we have some funds set aside and can secure a few small loans, we need to raise extra cash to help make this dream a reality.
Your donation will help us not only reach our target but also reduce the number of loans needed, significantly relieving the financial strain on our club.
We have until 28 February 2025 to reach our goal and save this wonderful asset for the Norbury and Thornton Heath community..
