It promotes tennis in local schools, provides free use of courts & facilities to the coaching team to enable them to deliver the tennis programme, access to which is available to members and non-members alike (the latter pay a small visitors fee).
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £31,461 for the year due to a £40,000 court replacement expense, despite overall revenue growing by over 15%. Per the trustees' report, the charity remains well-funded with a year-end cash balance approaching £70,000 and total reserves of £222,029, which are maintained to enable capital replacement of facilities. The trustees consider that financial projections and conservative reserve levels will not put the charity at risk of repaying its £30,000 outstanding loans.
