BRIGHT IDEAS FOR TENNIS

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.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
