SportsAid, at both the national
and regional levels, provides direct financial assistance to young sportsmen
and women, between the ages of 12 and 18, with proven ability so that they
can meet the ever increasing and unavoidable cost of their sporting development.
For these youngsters, and the families that support them, the promise of
help from the Lottery Sports Fund remains a distant dream. Without SportsAid's
assistance, many would simply turn their back on sport, frustrated by a
chronic lack of support and depressed by society's refusal to give them
a chance to fulfill their potential.
