£47,000 Net Gain For Doncaster Deaf Trust

GAME ON for children, pupils and students at Doncaster Deaf Trust who have new improved sports facilities thanks to two grants which total more than £47,000.

A Sport England grant for £27,238 combined with £20,400 from the Suez Communities Trust, which supports community and environmental projects, has been used to refurbish and resurface the Trust’s two tennis courts.

Bobbie Roberts, chair of Trustees for Doncaster Deaf Trust, said: “Our tennis courts now look fantastic and our students are thrilled to have such great facilities.

“We are extremely pleased to have received these two grants which have enabled us to give a much needed upgrade to our sporting facilities.

“The courts are used for tennis, volleyball, basketball and futsal and as a result of being very well used they were in great need of investment, they now look spectacular.”

The grants were used to re-surface and re-line the two tennis courts with MUGA 4, all weather, no-slip safety surface.

“From everyone at the Deaf Trust we’d like to send our thanks to both Sport England and the Suez Communities Trust for this money. Our children, students and pupils are now able to play their games and matches on the new courts. This also means that the community will once again be able to hire the courts for their use,” added Bobbie.
