Volunteering
Volunteers make tennis happen throughout Britain – they give their time and energy to help more people play tennis and are vital to our game. There are a number of resources to support, recognise and reward volunteering in tennis https://www.lta.org.uk/workforce-venues/tennis-volunteer/
There is also a new volunteer community group on Facebook for all venue volunteers to connect and share knowledge – ask to join here https://www.facebook.com/groups/517145319449375
