“As a charitable social enterprise we pride ourselves on not only ploughing profits back into improving our facilities for the benefit of the whole community, but by supporting grass roots sportspeople enabling them to achieve their full potential. This could be in kind through training and free access to our gyms and also through monetary support to help pay towards transport to training and competitions or much-needed equipment. If you know a local sportsperson who would benefit from GSF funding, please share the details on how to apply along with the deadline of 20^th February 2018,” said a spokesperson

 “In 2017 GSF supported 21 athletes at Better Sutton Sports through the scheme who were chosen from a large number of applications. As a renowned tennis centre, these were largely tennis players but also included a pole vaulter and 400m runner. It’s open to athletes of any age and last year, Edwina Brocklesby from Lambeth, was our oldest recipient aged 74. Edwina regularly competes in Triathlons and is the oldest British Ironman.”
