SportsAid Eastern

SportsAid Eastern was established in 1999. We currently generate our income through sporting lunches bringing together local and national businesses keen to help young people achieve the best they can in their chosen sport. Typically we assist young people who are already on the talent pathway achieving national rankings, but do not yet qualify for National Lottery assistance and rely heavily on the bank of Mum and Dad.

We also provide opportunities to shine the spotlight on local businesses, to network amongst like-minded people, listen to guest speakers, meet the young athletes we’ve helped and to provide a clear line of sight between sponsors and the outcomes their donations enable.

Together, we support and develop the next generation of Olympic and Paralympic talent. The success of an athlete benefits not only the sport itself, but the community in which they live and the whole sporting-engaged society across the UK.
