PT&F believes that the construction of an indoor padel facility on the grounds of Prestwick Tennis Centre can provide opportunities to improve physical wellbeing, social connection and long-term participation in physical activity across the local community. Prestwick Tennis Centre has suffered financially in recent year and the introduction of this new fact growing racket sport is essential to the ongoing financial sustainability of this not-for-profit organisation.

Please describe what you plan to do and what the money will be used for? (i.e., purchase equipment/resources)

PT&F is looking to construct a covered Padel tennis court within the grounds of its indoor tennis centre in Prestwick. The provision of a covered court means that Padel tennis can be more available to the local community in any weather throughout the whole of the year. We see the introduction of Padel as an excellent fit to complement our current tennis offering.  We have planning permission in place, and we are currently in the process of raising sufficient funds to enable to project to go-ahead.

The cost of the construction of a covered Padel tennis court is £210,000 (including VAT) and we currently have a funding gap of £10,000 which we hoping to address through this application.
