SPORTS AID TRUST

SportsAid - Supporting the sports stars of tomorrow today

Before they become a household name, an elite sportsman or woman will spend 100,000 hours and thousands of pounds pursuing their dream. Many are forced out long before it comes true.

SportsAid makes it possible for young athletes to pursue their dreams, so that – like 18-year-old Steve Redgrave in 1980 and 13-year-old Kelly Holmes in 1983 – they can one day go on to inspire a nation.

At the Beijing Olympics, 46% of Team GB were SportsAid athletes and 50% of them went on to win a medal. For many, we were their only means of support at a crucial, early time in their career, before other sources of funding are available. We continue to work with the governing bodies of 50 disciplines to ensure the right athletes have every chance of being what they can be.

Support SportsAid and their success will be yours too.
