Group, club or project applications: (For physical impairment, deaf, learning disability, visually impaired etc)
For those who are starting a disability group, a club programme/project or need help with an existing project or programme. Examples of items that will be considered under this scheme are help towards court hire, (e.g. for indoor provision) coaching fees, equipment (if not applying for an equipment package as above). All programmes and projects should aim towards self-financing and sustainability.
Please specify what costs are associated with each item, e.g. if you are applying for help with court fees, please specify how many sessions and the cost per hour per court. Likewise, if you are applying for coaching fees, please specify how many hours and at what cost.
Before applying for assistance, you are advised to consult The Lawn Tennis Association and/or your local County Tennis Association. All grants awarded are paid on a reimbursement basis and a simple, short report must be completed (template supplied) when claiming grant payment.
Please note individuals can also apply for up to £600 for coaching lessons with an LTA Licensed coach, court hire, tennis wheelchairs, tennis rackets, course fees for official LTA Development/Coaching courses.
For both individual and group applications – items that will not be considered include: clothing or individual transport costs, electronic equipment e.g. videos, publicity, promotions, advertising, general administration and catering at tournaments and events.
All funding is paid on a ‘reimbursement’ basis – money will not be paid in advance as a lump sum but as a reimbursement once activity has taken place. Eg the lesson and court hire has been held, and a receipt can be produced to show this. For individuals, some coaches will agree to invoice the Trust directly for your lessons, if they do not then you need to pay upfront and can then claim for reimbursement through your grant.
