Birmingham North City Tennis Club is an inner city no-profit tennis club, based in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, whose members come from a mix of ethnic backgrounds.

The club was launched in 2005 through grants by partners including the local council; but the club is now not going to be funded after August. The club has been producing players who have been successful in playing and winning tournaments against more established clubs both in team and individual events.

More than this they have been seeing children become more positive people - and also becoming fitter. The club meets all the criteria that the government has said that they would like to see for children in such organisations.

Despite this, Birmingham Nortn City Tennis Club is in danger of going under as it does not receive support.
