What the charity does

Bright Ideas for Tennis aims to get more people playing more tennis. We support tennis venues in the UK by helping to increase membership numbers, raising participation levels, and improving playing facilities. We provide clubs with a means to generate funds in order to develop their existing coaching programme, or to complete larger capital projects such as floodlighting, or court resurfacing.
