Sports Training Fund for Young People in Cumbria

This is a short term funding stream which will run from Dec 09 to April 2010. All training courses MUST be completed by mid April 2010 at the latest. The fund is aimed at 16-25 yr olds who are either from, or working with, people from disadvantaged areas. Applicants can apply for up to £200 (including £25 towards expenses) towards Young Sports Leaders Awards, Level 1 coaching qualifications or officiating courses (such as referee, judge, time keeper etc). Young people will have to volunteer in a local sports organisation and be supported by a coach (or mentor) if successful.

There are other eligibility criteria so please make sure you read the guidelines before completing the application form. If you have any questions after reading the guidelines please contact Adam Dickinson on 01900 822 110 or email adamd@cya.org.uk

In addition to this we have another very small fund which can support 14-25 yr olds to undertake sports related training. This fund is also aimed at young people from disadvantaged parts of Cumbria or young people working with people from disadvantaged parts of Cumbria. The maximum award for this fund is £30 per person. If you require more information about this fund or would like guidance notes and an application form please contact Adam Dickinson on 01900 822 110 or email adamd@cya.org.uk
