GLL Sport Foundation: Inspiring young people by promoting the development and achievements of young athletes supported by the Foundation.

GLL Sport Foundation / SportsAid Partnership 2009

GLL Sport Foundation have entered into a partnership arrangement for 2009 with SportsAid, registered charity 1111612 to expand and co-ordinate talent identification and funding recommendations.

Under this arrangement SportsAid will collate funding requests from Governing Bodies of Sport for their most talented young athletes who are not currently on lottery funding programmes.

SportsAid will identify all these athletes within GLL managed Boroughs and submit applications for GLL Sport Foundation 'Talent' and 'Development' funding.

This partnership will ensure that the GLL sport Foundation support for young athletes reaches those identified by their Governing Bodies as having special talent and ensures that our Foundation joins the National Talent Pathways agreed within British Sport.

Applications for all Foundation funding categories ('Ambassador', 'Talent', 'Development', 'Potential' and 'Regional' Awards) and awards will remain available to individuals through the GLL Sport Foundation website

Where applicants apply direct to the GLL Sport Foundation, SportsAid will use national rankings and talent identification information to assist the Foundation with verification and assessment of sporting potential.
