Opportunities for all at Highgate!

Tymofii and his brother Bohdan came to the UK from the Ukraine with their mother and their older brother.

Tymofii and Bohdan first came to Highgate tennis club for the Easter camps in 2022 and they have been at Highgate ever since. They attend squads every week; in April 2023 they both achieved their Tennis Leaders awards; in July 2023 they went with other Highgate juniors and their coaches to Wimbledon; and Tymofii is starting to do assistant work on the junior programme.

Tymofii and Bohdan had not played tennis before coming to the UK.

Bohdan says he likes the location of the club as it is near a forest, and has lots of courts. Tymofii really likes the club and wants to carry on playing tennis for as long as he can.

The boys are able to play at Highgate thanks to our Hardship Fund.

Supporting juniors like Tymofii and Bohdan is just one example of the work that we can do with your help. We recently set up a scheme exclusively for primary school children on free school meals, and in 2024 we are planning a group for refugee children.

We would love to offer more places to young people like Tymofii and Bohdan.

You can help us by making a regular contributions to our Hardship Fund here.

Thank you
