The UK’s largest independent athlete support programme – the GLL Sport Foundation Awards – closes its application window on 20 February.
Talented athletes from 65 areas across the UK are invited to apply for a range of support awards which include financial help, access to sport facilities, physiotherapy, lifestyle mentoring and mental health aid.
All successful applicants will be given access to the 250 sport and leisure facilities across the UK operated by GLL under its “Better” trading brand.
Commenting on the closing of the application window for the GSF Awards 2024, Peter Bundey, GLL Sport Foundation Chair, said:
“There’s still time for talented athletes across the country to apply for our awards and take advantage of a unique opportunity to reach their sporting potential.
“Previous athletes tell us the awards provide a lifeline to individuals who want to compete at the highest level as well as helping local communities discover the opportunities and enrichment that comes through sport.”
GSF supported para tennis player Lily Mills, 23, from Islington, said:
“I’m really excited about the new round of GSF Awards - for all young athletes out there like me, these awards can make a huge difference to us staying in training and competing at the highest level.”
