The Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club is pleased to announce its recent partnership with Airedale Hospital and Community Charity (AHCC) as a corporate partner. The purpose of this collaboration is to provide support to the charity in its fundraising activities and appeals.
One of the key initiatives of this partnership is the joint efforts in the club’s annual Lexus Ilkley Trophy competition during the summer. This event is highly esteemed as one of the highlights of the summer grass court season and is also the largest tournament in the North of England.
AHCC, the dedicated charity of Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, raises funds to improve patient care, employee wellbeing, and local community services. The charity manager, Jodie Hearnshaw, has expressed her enthusiasm in working with Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club and looks forward to exploring fundraising ideas and activities with the team at the Club. Corporate fundraising plays a pivotal role in the charity’s success, and this partnership provides a wonderful opportunity to work with a respected local sports club.
Established in 1880, the Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club has a rich history and offers exceptional facilities for various sports, including grass tennis courts, squash, an outdoor padel court, and racket ball. General Manager Chris Harrison has emphasized the club’s ongoing support for local community programs and highlighted the benefits of partnering for fundraising activities that contribute to the local area.
The partnership kicked off with a lively 1980s themed disco earlier this year, where both members and the general public enjoyed 80s tunes and raised an impressive £570 for AHCC. This successful event marks the promising start of the partnership.
