What we do

By working closely with the National Governing Bodies (NGB’s), SportsAid has a well established and proven process ensuring that young sportsmen and women that require help, get it when they need it most.
On average each athlete spends nearly £5,000 per year on equipment, training, traveling and all of the other essentials that are required to compete at the top level.*
Once each nomination is agreed a SportsAid grant is presented to each individual athlete directly, not to their NGB. Intervention at such a crucial time is often the difference between a young sports person continuing in their chosen sport or quitting.
Young talent needs help and recognition – SportsAid provides both.
