The Swindon Sport Forum is working with GLL, the new Leisure contractors, to promote the GLL Sports Foundation grant funding for talented Swindon athletes.
Last year 9 people received awards and we are keen to make sure that more talented sports people apply. This ranged for a year’s membership to a grant of £1.5k plus free membership for a year.
The GLL Sport Foundation applications open online from 20/12/14 until 20/02/15 via www.gllsportfoundation.org
- Athletes of any age can apply, as the criteria is based on performance level but athletes need to be competing at a minimum of county level
- Priority will be given to Olympic and Paralympic sports
- As awards are annual any current recipients of the funding need to re-apply . GLL will contact directly.
- Full details on application process and criteria can be found on the website
- Promotion of the grant will also be done directly by GLL through social media, flyers, press release, notice board at the Oasis
To ensure that you stand the best chance of success, a meeting will take place on the 6th January 2015 at 7pm at the Oasis Leisure Centre for anyone interested in applying to meet with the GLL Sports foundation manager to find out more before applying.
Anyone who would like to attend the meeting should email gbarr@swindon.gov.uk by the 4th January at the latest with names of who is attending and which sport they represent.
