Why We Need Your Support

The Tennis Centre is the centre of our community. It’s where friendships are formed, skills are honed, and memories are made, both on and off the courts. Sadly, after years of weathering the elements, the pavilion roof is now in urgent need of replacement. Leaks and structural wear threaten to disrupt our activities.

As a Community Interest Company, we exist to serve our local area. Every penny raised goes directly back into maintaining and improving the centre—ensuring access to tennis, recreation, and community events for everyone, regardless of age or background. But we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re reaching out and inviting you to join forces with us.

Buy Tickets: Secure your spot for an evening of live entertainment
Spread the Word: Invite friends, family, and colleagues—everyone’s welcome!
Donate: Can’t make it? Support us with a donation via https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ross-tennis-centre
