Fred Perry Tennis Trust
Key takeaways
- The Fred Perry Tennis Trust's stated work is improving access to youth grassroots tennis through refurbished community courts, accessible coaching and regional tournament routes, so a request fits best if it is about one of those.
- Its grants are described as going to local authorities and clubs to repair courts and other facilities, so a request is most likely to be heard if it comes from one of them or is clearly tied to one.
- The grant size and any geographic focus are not stated, so a modest, specific request for court repair or coaching is the safest starting point.
- There is no published application process, so get in touch through the contact given before writing a full request.
- Its reserves of £12k may release additional grants only in an exceptional case approved by the trustees, so do not plan around that, but if your case is exceptional, say why in your first contact.

Its direct activity includes free coaching and an amateur national tennis tournament for talented children from under 11 to under 18, with regional qualifying events intended to give lower-ranked and less experienced players a route to the finals.
