About This Opportunity

The Lord-Lieutenant's Fund for Young and Talented aims to ensure that every young person has the same opportunities to develop their sporting talent regardless of background, financial or personal circumstances. The fund seeks to 'level the playing field' by providing financial support to talented young sports people in Dorset. Grants of up to £1,000 are awarded to help young athletes overcome financial barriers and fulfill their potential. The funding can be used for kit/clothing costs, competition fees, coaching, travel costs and accommodation expenses. Applicants must demonstrate sporting talent that has been recognised or acknowledged by an appropriate national governing body and must be unable to achieve their ambitions without help due to financial or personal circumstance. Up to three grants may be awarded to an individual over a period of time, provided the applicant has shown real improvement and requires further support in order to progress further.
