GB Tennis Girls was founded to create a welcoming and supportive community for aspiring female tennis players in Britain. The organisation is not-for-profit and is run by four former top British and WTA ranked tennis players, Helen Crook, Victoria Davies, Jo Ward and Lorna Woodroffe. GBTG works with the LTA to bring some tangible improvements within the British game.

Many schemes are run by GBTG which create sponsoring and fundraising opportunities to help empower British girls to fund their own tennis. The organisation endeavours to support the production of pro tennis players, but also seeks to encourage and retain all girls' involvement in the sport by promoting the many career opportunities and lifestyle benefits available to females through tennis. Raising the self-esteem of British girls is a welcome by-product of a positive tennis experience.

Its thriving online network has allowed ALL players to belong and feel part of the GBTG community. The GBTG website enables informative interaction between players (past and present), parents, supporters and coaches. The website also provides a platform from which many players have received commercial and private sponsorships.

GBTG fundraise by hosting various events held throughout the year. The Wimbledon Ball at the prestigious All England Club has become a notable date in many of their supporter's calendars as well as a beneficial net working evening for like-minded companies and individuals, as has their annual Golf Day.

Sponsors and supporters of GBTG can benefit from corporate entertainment packages and Wimbledon hosting days as well as a number of other events and have access to the GBTG network of supporters. For companies with a female target market sponsoring GBTG can be a stand-alone commercially viable marketing decision. All sponsors of GBTG can be safe in the knowledge that their donations will be managed by passionate former professionals who will identify worthy schemes and recipients.

Key GBTG Personnel
The founding four have all earned a living on the pro-circuit, competed at Wimbledon and are all former British No.1s and No.2s. Between them they have represented Britain in the Olympics, Federation Cup, European Cup, Maureen Connolly Cup as well as representing Wales and England in Internationals. With over 100 professional titles collectively, coupled with a sense of underachievement, they are in a great position to improve the experience of the British female tennis player.
