In May 2021 we were awarded planning permission for a new clubhouse. It has been designed to make playing, watching and socialising around tennis accessible for all, enabling us to offer tennis play and coaching to people with disabilities, as well as a function room for local community use.
The environmental impact has also been considered and the new clubhouse will benefit from high-quality but cost-effective materials, which are environmentally friendly, easily maintained and sustainable. The implementation of solar panels will also enable us to reduce our carbon footprint.
We have currently raised over £230,000 through fundraising activities, generous donations from members, local businesses and the wider community, and grants from councils and charitable trusts, which is an incredible achievement!
Work started last year. In February this year, the Structurally Insulated Panels that make up the structure of the new clubhouse were finally installed and work has started on making the new building watertight.
We still need to raise an additional £50,000 to complete Phase 1 of the build, which will give us a usable building. We also need to raise funds for Phase 2, which includes items such as the Wheelchair Lift, full kitchen fit out and landscaping.
We hope to be able to complete Phase 1 by the end of July. To help us raise the final £50,000 to complete phase 1: DONATE NOW
