This week Colin Brown (Regional Director) and Jo Melchior (Project Manager) attended the VIP GLL Sport Foundation Awards ceremony, at the landmark BT Tower in Central London on 16th March 2010.
Over 800 young athletes from across London and the South East have been awarded financial and training grants worth over 400,000, from the GLL Sport Foundation, making it one of the largest independent athlete talent support schemes in the region.
Colin commented afterwards “It was great to see so many athletes awarded with grants to sustain their dreams. These awards should help them to concentrate on their training fully and hopefully fulfil their dreams in the future”.
The GLL Sport Foundation was founded in 2008 with Sally Gunnell OBE as Patron. It plans to give in excess of 1.5m to young athletes in selected areas of London and the South of England in the run up to 2012.
