Tennis facility funding & advice

Indoor Community Tennis Projects

As part of the LTA facility strategy the LTA have used insight data and mapping technology to identify areas of demand for indoor tennis. The target locations have been established following a detailed demographic review of the UK market and existing indoor tennis centres with a proven sustainable business model.

Facility Loan Scheme

The facility loan scheme provides loans up to £250,000 to help venues deliver projects that will grow the number of people playing tennis. This scheme is part of our our mission to grow tennis by making it relevant, accessible, welcoming and enjoyable. To attract new players within local communities it is critical that there is access to quality all year round facilities and therefore the LTA will prioritise investment into low cost indoor structures and floodlights.

External grant support for your tennis venue

Attracting additional funding is often crucial for the running and operations of many tennis venues, particularly for those seeking to deliver a new project. 

There are various approaches venues can take to attract further investment from grant funding through external funding bodies, sponsorship or even local fundraising activities.

To support venues in understanding more about these opportunities and to get some ideas as to how to raise additional money we have produced some guidance resources to support you:

In addition, our free to use grant search facility allows you to search through the thousands of grants and loans. We ask you some basic questions about your organisation, and then list the funding partners for your local area.

The information that you search is updated daily by a team of researchers.
