The Queen's Club Foundation Relaunches ‘Become a Friend’ with New Benefits for Regular Supporters

The Queen's Club’s official charity Queen’s Club Foundation is delighted to relaunch its Become a Friend regular giving programme, introducing a refreshed scheme with enhanced benefits across each giving tier while continuing to help create lasting opportunities through the power of racket sports.

The revitalised scheme makes it easier than ever for supporters to become part of the Foundation's growing community, with monthly (or annual) donations helping to fund accessible coaching, community programmes and life-changing opportunities for young people and underserved communities. ‘Friends’ will also enjoy a range of exclusive benefits and opportunities to connect more closely with the Foundation and the impact of their support.

Kate Maurici, Head of the Queen's Club Foundation, said: "The relaunch of our patron’s scheme ‘Become a Friend’ marks an exciting new chapter for the Foundation. By refreshing the programme and introducing enhanced benefits for our supporters, we're recognising the vital role regular payments play in helping us create lasting opportunities through sport. Their ongoing generosity enables us to plan for the future and expand our impact where it is needed most."

Hetty Palmer, Fundraising Manager, added: "Our Friends are at the heart of sustainable fundraising strategy. We've reimagined the scheme to offer a more rewarding experience for supporters while strengthening our ability to deliver meaningful change. Every monthly gift, whatever its size, helps us provide more opportunities for young people and communities to experience the benefits of racket sports."

Built around the campaign message Your Support. Their Opportunity., the refreshed Become a Friend programme invites supporters to invest in a future where more people can access, enjoy and thrive through sport.
