Many thanks to the LTA and Herts LTA for nominating HACRO for the LTA Connecting Communities Award. We were thrilled to win both the Herts and Regional Awards and to be a runner-up at the National Awards.

HACRO is honoured to be the recipient of an LTA Tennis Foundation grant to bring tennis to our participants in Hertfordshire for a two year period. On 24th July we celebrated with a fun-packed event at Bovingdon & Flaunden Tennis club. Many thanks to the LTA and to Herts LTA.

HACRO participants are keen to give back their community. As thanks to Bovingdon & Flaunden Tennis Club work has been undertaken to extend a gravel area underneath the picnic table and to enhance the car park area.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have received funding from #Thenationallotterycommunityfund. It is wonderful to be recognised for the impact that the services we provide have on our participants and the wider community.
