Well played Phoenix & Ryan 👏👏👏👏

A huge thank you once more to everyone that supported the Bright Ideas for Tennis fundraising event and to Luke for all his hard work putting this together. We are delighted to share that the total sum raised was £759!

The money raised will be used to set up disability training programmes at the club to support various charities with their work helping adults and children to build new life skills and experience the joy of sport. The first programme is a 10 week Special Education Needs school’s programme which has already started and which following the success of the fundraiser we will be able to extend. More details will follow as this programme develops. Finally, Luke needs help running the programmes and if you would like to volunteer to support please get in touch with him: [email protected]
