Grantham Squash & Fitness is finalising significant accessibility improvements following a £35,000 investment from South Kesteven District Council’s allocation of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The funding supported the installation of a lift at the Harlaxton Road facility, addressing previous accessibility issues that limited participation from individuals with mobility challenges. The upgrade is part of the club’s broader effort to increase usage across a wider demographic and expand its function as a multi-purpose community hub.
This latest phase complements earlier works last summer, which included electric entrance doors and improved internal access to core amenities such as the gym, squash courts, sauna, and toilets.
Once the lift is operational, the venue’s upper-level function rooms and squash court viewing areas will become more accessible, making it easier for the club to host a broader range of events and increase community engagement. The lift installation is expected to be completed this week.
