Right now, too many people across Great Britain lack access to the physical, mental, and social benefits that sport brings. With rising childhood obesity, growing mental health challenges, and persistent inequalities affecting underrepresented groups, the need for support is greater than ever.
Our ambition is to ensure that every child, young person and adult can have access to the unique and life-changing benefits that tennis offers.
Our Vision: Tennis Opened Up
As the LTA’s official charity, we share the same vision. We believe tennis is for everyone and are committed to creating more opportunities for people to access it.
Our Mission: Improving Lives Through Tennis
As a grant and loan giving charity, our funding and support is dedicated to improving lives using tennis as a tool for social change and as the LTA's Charity, we are uniquely positioned to do this at scale.
By supporting expert-led community embedded programmes and projects and opening up tennis for people of all ages and backgrounds, we can achieve our mission of improving lives through tennis.
Our story so far
LTA Tennis Foundation was established in 2022, following the merger of the Tennis Foundation and the LTA Trust.
We are a grant and loan-giving charity, with an ambition for every child, young person, and adult to have access to the unique and life-changing benefits that tennis offers.
Our strategy
Our strategy is built around five key objectives that help us deliver on our mission.
Inspire: Harness the power of tennis to inspire people and programmes to create opportunities for new and diverse tennis communities
Partner: Work collaboratively to extend the collective power and impact of tennis charities and other partners
Fundraise: Attract more money into the sport by becoming a beacon for tennis
Invest: Invest in people, programmes, and places to play to achieve our mission
Challenge: Challenge the status quo to drive positive and sustainable change to open up tennis
Tennis is a wonderful sport that can offer connection, companionship or competition or a blend of all three. At the LTA Tennis Foundation, we believe tennis has the power to change lives and our role is to help anyone - regardless of their background or circumstance - to experience the physical, mental and social benefits this sport offers.
