The Trustees, Report and Annual Review for
October 2022 to September 2023 reflects a year
of transformational change for The Queen's
Club Foundation IQCFI. It was an honour for me
to succeed our longstanding Chair, Baroness
Amanda Sater and I'm hugely grateful io our
Foundation team and to our Trustees for all
their dedication and commitment in taking
The QCF forward in our mission to improve lives
through racket sports.
The majority of our work continues to take place
locally. yet increasingly our work has national
recognition (due to the excellent programmes.
social media exposure and our link with The
Queen'5 Club itself). Our on-court activation
events surrouriding the cinch Championships
(the ATP SOO tennis event held in June) show
the local impact we are having on children and
their families enabling us to deliver community
spori in line with the LTA'S message of'Tennis
Opened Up" locally and inspiiing others
nationally.
Our work this year has focused on widening
community participation especially to those
who may not have access to racket spoits,
often because of background or circumstances.
76% of our participants have been f rom ethnic
minorities and we have also had a strong focus
on disability, mental health and women and
girls- all showing signif icant figures in our
I mpact Report.
Fundraising continues to be a major focus
for our charity. We are most grateful to The
Queen's Club Board, The Queen's Club IQCI and
its members for the support we receive. Our
November fundraising dinner and December

new website wnfvw.queensclLJbfoundation.co.uk
has aided and improved communication of
who we are and whatwe do.
The QCF is also grateful to The LTA Tennis
Foundation for awarding us a three-year
granl in support of OLJr community outreach
programmes and to help us develop a
community hub site. This grant. generous
individual donations, support from The Queen's
Club and other Foundation5 have put us on
a f irmer f Inancial footing with total income
this financial year of over £190k up f rom the
previous year of over £52K. However, we will
be continuing to look at ways to improve
our long-term f inancial sustainability by
generating regular recurring income through
the introduction of initiatives such as è Friends,
scheme, a Major Donor's scheme and a Legacy
scheme.
On behalf of The Trustees, I would like to thank
all those who have contributed over the year
to the vibrant health of the Charity- including
coaches, volunteers, club members, staff at the
Club, The QCF off ice team and all our incredibly
generous donors and partners, without whom
we would not be able to make such a difference

Our daughter was not practicing sports orn regular basis and had
also bad mark at school in PE. She wasn't interested in sport at all,
only in books so we decided to push her by enrolling her at QCF. Getting
up at 7 am for the 8..30 se59ion on Sunday was 3150 a turn off for her as she
likes lazing in bed on weekends. To our amazement after one term at QCF
she begged us to continue. She has now got an excellent maik in PE for
the f irst time.
