I am raising funds to support SportsAid and the charity’s mission is to encourage, enable and empower the next generation of British athletes to achieve their ambitions in sport and life!

Each year, over 1,000 young sports stars, mostly aged between 12 and 18, are nominated by their sport to receive vital support from SportsAid.

These are the country’s brightest prospects, future Olympians and Paralympians, who often receive no other funding outside of their family.

The support they receive from SportsAid acts as a real motivational boost as it is often the first recognition they are given outside of their support network.

A typical SportsAid award is £1,000 and the charity works hard every year to try and ensure each nominated athlete is given the support they deserve. This includes workshop sessions, both online and in-person, where athletes are offered mentoring by Olympians and Paralympians, as well as gaining advice from industry
