Brixworth Tennis Club
Founded in 2013 we are now an integral part of our village community and also serve several other neighbouring villages. We offer coaching groups for minis and juniors as well as social and league tennis for adults. We run 6 teams in the Northamptonshire Summer Leagues and encourage students and juniors to play adult league tennis as much as possible. We currently have 95 members, a third of whom are juniors.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Our landlord has served us notice to vacate our facilities or to raise the money to purchase them from him. Our deadline to complete the transaction is April 30th 2026 so we need to have the funds in place by the end of the year.
This has come as a shock to our club so we have not set aside funds over time to purchase the facility.
Now we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy the very courts we play on — but we need your help to do it.
We need to raise £30,000 to secure ownership of the courts and preserve tennis in Brixworth for generations to come.
Owning the courts means:
Long-term security for the club
Improved facilities for everyone
More access to coaching, kids’ lessons & community tennis
Community impact
By owning our courts, we will:
Protect and grow our junior coaching programme
Offer more accessible sessions for all ages and backgrounds
Apply for funding to improve the facilities (like new surfaces, floodlights, and accessible features)
Ensure long-term security for the club and keep it volunteer-led and affordable
