Big changes are coming to the courts at Rickmansworth Lawn Tennis Club (RLTC) after the club secured a £49,348 funding boost from the HS2 Community and Environment Fund.
The money will go towards improving access, safety, and facilities for the local community.
The funding will support the club’s Pathways to Participation project, aimed at making tennis more welcoming and accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
Planned improvements include upgraded access paths, resurfacing the car park, and installing new floodlighting on two additional courts, helping players feel safer and more confident both on and off the court.
The HS2 Community and Environment Fund was created by HS2 Ltd to deliver positive, lasting benefits to communities affected by HS2 construction.
The fund is administered on behalf of HS2 Ltd by community charity Groundwork UK.
Julie Murray, marketing and communications officer at RLTC, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the HS2 Community and Environment Fund for supporting our Pathways to Participation project.
“This funding will allow us to improve safety, access and facilities at the club, helping more people in our community to enjoy tennis and the wider health and wellbeing benefits of being active.”
The investment reinforces the club’s commitment to inclusion, wellbeing, and making sport accessible to everyone in Rickmansworth.
