The Tennis First Charitable Trust (Tennis First) is an independent registered charity (no.1075649) and helps young players throughout the UK who are dedicated to fulfilling their potential of reaching a senior world ranking of 250 and better. It makes grants for coaching, travel expenses and training.
Our successes, with their highest world rankings in brackets, include Anne Keothavong (48) Alex Bogdanovich (108) and Josh Goodall (184). We have also recently helped Jade Curtis (335), Natasha Khan (393), Anna Fitzpatrick (318) and Dan Cox (476) all of whom are now making their way on the senior tour.
Tim Henman has been particularly generous to Tennis First by committing some of the money raised through his Kids at Heart charity; and we have supported some tennis scholars at Tim's old school - Reeds in Surrey. One of these, Andrew Bettles, was part of the GB Junior Davis Cup team which reached the 2009 final, beating France and Argentina along the way. George Morgan and Oliver Golding, both Tennis First grantees, were also on the team.
