About Us

• Founded in 1868, The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) is a private members’ club which organises and stages The Championships, Wimbledon. In December 2019, it acquired land adjacent to its current site and intends to incorporate this natural, historic landscape into its future plans.
• The AELTC Community Strategy team’s role is to strategically develop the organisation’s approach to being a force for good and giving back to its local community across Merton and Wandsworth plus further afield, connecting members of the public to Wimbledon making Wimbledon a welcoming place for all. Our award-winning Learning programme plays a key role in that, welcoming thousands of students each year to experience the magic of where lawn tennis began. Our educator-designed classes run from September to May and include links to the National Curriculum. We welcome groups to our Grounds and host events at the Qualifying Event at Roehampton and assemblies in-person at local schools. Engaging students in an interactive and entertaining environment is at the heart of our programme.
• Our rapidly expanding and evolving Early Years and Family Programmes offer fun, unique and inspiring experiential and digital engagement opportunities for children and families to discover the magic of Wimbledon. Through a range of storytelling, movement, arts and crafts, and other specifically designed content, the programmes support the development of key motor, coordination, and speech and language skills, whilst crucially expanding and diversifying Wimbledon audiences too.
• The Learning & Family Programmes are in an exciting expansion phase, with additional resources committed over the next two years. This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly organised and passionate individual to assist our team in supporting the delivery of a highly successful programme and the role will be essential in facilitating the growth of our work and developing new avenues for our brand.
• Finally, the AELTC has grown in recent years and we expect that success to continue. We have plans to further improve our facilities and invest in our people in future years. Our success is important to us and we are guided by our key values of Heritage, Integrity, Respect and Excellence.
