Solihull Tennis Club Pathway Fundraiser
Solihull, West Midlands, United Kingdom
Aim
We are raising money to build a new accessible path from the car park, across the cricket pitch, to our courts. No more muddy shoes!
We have been offered a grant from Sport England for £7500 if we raise the same amount ourselves. So every pound that gets donated will be matched as long as we reach our target amount of £7500.
Who are we?
Solihull Tennis Club is a friendly club here in the heart of the West Midlands. We have around 160 adult members and 70 juniors who all enjoy a range of social tennis, coaching and competitive league tennis.We have 6 courts, 3 of which are floodlit.
We actively encourage all ages and abilities within the community to come and try tennis and become a member of our thriving club. The club is a non-profit sports club run by its members who volunteer in all aspects of running it.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We need to raise the funds to be able to pay a landscaper to create us a path from the car park to our tennis courts. This needs to have solid foundations and be fit for use by wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Currently the route to the courts is muddy and wet especially in winter. Having a path will make our club accessible for all and will keep our courts cleaner and more long-lasting.

Community impact
The pathway will also give the surrounding community an accessible pathway across the field to the Tippetts Lounge and social area. We hope that the pathway will be used by all members of the wider Cricket and Bowls clubs located on the site.
