Stimulus Fund

The Stimulus Fund was established by the Suffolk Lawn Tennis Association (SLTA) to expand tennis in Suffolk to the widest possible community by providing funding for small schemes aimed at increasing the number of players in both junior and younger adult age-groups. SLTA is looking to discover and exploit a wider vein of talent by taking tennis further into the community socially and geographically, and by giving the opportunity to play to those who have not had the chance before. Grants of up to £1,000 are available for charitable, voluntary and community groups to support local grassroots projects that are looking to promote tennis in areas of deprivation (including rural) and help those who are disadvantaged or vulnerable. The fund encourages young people up to the age of 30 to enjoy or return to the sport of tennis with the emphasis on increasing membership and making tennis sessions sustainable. Applications will be considered for activity camps that include other sports where tennis is a major part with an experienced tennis coach supporting the sessions.
