Make A Donation
50 years of backing belief. Help us back the next generation.
Every athlete starts with someone who believes in them.
A parent who drives them to training. A coach who sees their potential. A teacher, friend or teammate who tells them to keep going.
For 50 years, SportsAid has been another voice saying: we believe in you.
Our financial support helps talented, emerging athletes overcome some of the barriers that can stand between potential and personal best.
Your donation can help us back more athletes at the moments that matters most.
One-off Donation
A one-off donation can help turn belief into opportunity for a talented, emerging athlete.
From getting to training and competitions to accessing the equipment and support they need, your backing can help remove the financial barriers that stand between an athlete and their ambitions.
Back belief when it matters most.
Regular Donation
An athlete's journey doesn't happen overnight. It takes years of training, setbacks, sacrifice and belief.
By giving regularly, you can provide the ongoing backing that athletes need to keep pursuing their ambitions, helping them overcome financial barriers and giving them the opportunity to keep moving forward.
Because when an athlete knows someone believes in them, it can give them the confidence to believe in themselves.
Give your ongoing backing to the next generation.

How Far Do Your Donations Go?
For 50 years, SportsAid has been backing belief in the next generation of British athletes.
Your donation helps us continue that work, providing financial backing that can help young athletes overcome some of the costs of pursuing their ambitions.
But the impact goes beyond the financial support. Being backed by SportsAid tells an athlete that someone outside their immediate circle has recognised their potential and believes they can go further.
Your donation could help an athlete take their next step, and remind them that someone believes in what they can achieve.
- £5 could help one of Britain's best young athletes travel to their next training session
- £10 could help a disabled footballer purchase new shinpads
- £25 could help a young gymnast pay for a pair of wrist supports
- £50 could help a young kayaker replace a damaged helmet
- £100 could help a young athlete visit a physio for rehabilitation from an injury
- £500 could help a young boxer travel to their next major international competition
- £1,000 could provide a full year's worth of support for a SportsAid athlete
Financial backing can give athletes greater freedom to focus on their training and competition, while the recognition of being selected for SportsAid can provide something equally important: belief.
It tells them that their hard work has been noticed. That their potential is worth backing. And that someone believes they can take the next step.
Help us keep backing belief for the next generation.
SportsAid support just took the pressure off my parents regarding whether or not they could say no to a training weekend. At one point, I was doing three weekends out of four away from home and I had a younger brother and sister, so my dad would take me and my mum was in charge of them. It wouldn’t have been fair to say yes to me and no to them, but thanks to the support of SportsAid, my parents could say yes to all of us. It helped massively with the cost of swimming costumes, and just other things that you have to pay for - you don’t have a set of kits before you reach a certain level. There were so many things that we had to pay for – including kit, fuel and travel costs as well - and they mount up big time, so the SportsAid funding massively helped us afford those too.
