Help Us Bring the PING Hub to Stratford-upon-Avon!
Target: £40,000
Goal: Secure a town centre lease and launch an incredible new table tennis hub for everyone to enjoy!
Stratford-upon-Avon Table Tennis Club has a bold and exciting plan — to transform a currently empty unit in the town centre into a buzzing, inclusive, and community-driven PING Hub.
Imagine a vibrant three-floor space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to play, connect, and keep active — right in the heart of Stratford.
But to make it happen, we need your support.
We’re raising £40,000 to cover the lease of a prime town centre space for one year — giving us the opportunity to launch something truly special for the community.

What Your Support Will Help Create:
• Free-to-use casual play tables — accessible to everyone
• Three high-quality match courts — bookable 7 days a week
• A coaching and training area — for players of all levels
• Mini tables for Table Tots — fun and friendly play for little ones
• A welcoming, professional environment — bats, balls, lighting, and surrounds all included
• Events, leagues, social sessions — a new community hub for fun, fitness, and friendship
⸻
Why It Matters:
This isn’t just about table tennis. It’s about reimagining an empty space and turning it into a positive, healthy, and social centre Stratford can be proud of.
By backing this campaign, you’ll be helping us:
• Breathe life into a vacant property
• Create new opportunities for young people, families, and older residents
• Make sport more accessible and inclusive
• Strengthen community spirit and wellbeing
⸻
Together, we can make this happen.
Whether you donate £5 or £500, every contribution counts. And if you can’t give, sharing this campaign is just as valuable.
Let’s turn empty into extraordinary — and serve up something amazing for Stratford.
We’re in the process of setting up a crowdfunding page and it will be operational very soon 🏓

How we’ll spend the money raised
It’s important to be transparent about how you plan to spend the money you raise. Your audience will be more likely to make a pledge if they can see how their donation will help. Be specific and add a budget breakdown.

Community impact
It’s important to explain the wider impact of your organisation for the whole community, who does it benefit and why? Perhaps your facilities are used for other purposes outside of sport too?
