Individuals who are disabled and groups working with people with disabilities can apply for grants that will help them play tennis. The funding is being made available through the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust, which offers grants of up to £600 for individuals and up to £1,600 for groups, clubs, or projects. These grants aim to facilitate access to tennis for people with various disabilities, including physical impairments, deafness, learning disabilities, and visual impairments.
The Dan Maskell Tennis Trust welcomes applications from a variety of groups aiming to support disabled individuals in playing tennis. Eligible applicants include disability groups and programmes, tennis clubs, schools, and associations across the UK.
The grants can cover expenses such as coaching lessons with LTA-licensed coaches, court hire, tennis wheelchairs, and equipment like rackets. For individual applicants, the Trust provides assistance in acquiring sports wheelchairs, with specific models available that require a personal contribution alongside the grant. Group applications can seek support for initiating or enhancing disability tennis programmes, covering costs such as indoor court hire, coaching fees, and equipment. All programmes are encouraged to work towards self-financing and sustainability.
To apply, individuals and organisations should complete the appropriate application form—either for individuals or for groups/clubs/projects—available on the Trust’s website.
The Trust holds four funding meetings annually and the next closing date for applications is the 20th July 2025.
