sports bursaries available

 

Dear Sports Clubs,

 

We are delighted to announce that C-SALT, the Trustees of the Leisure Connection sites in Wokingham, have made a donation to the Sports Council that will enable us to offer a number of Bursaries. It is intended that these Bursaries should be utilised to pay all or part of the annual Sports Club subscription for individuals suffering from financial hardship.

The money will be split between the summer and winter seasons so the first nominations should be submitted by the end of March this year with results available in April. We will then be asking for nominations again by the end of August with results available in September.

We are not asking you to complete a complicated nomination form but would ask that you advise details of the individual, specific reasons for the request, together with the amount required. There are limited funds so we may not be able to satisfy all requests or to meet subscriptions in full. It the latter case it may be that Clubs will assist the individual by providing any balance themselves.

Responses will be sent to the Club rather than the individual and all nominations will be treated in confidence.

 

Nominations to be submitted by the 31^st March should be sent to:-

 

Beverley Thompson

Sport and Leisure Manager

Wokingham Borough Council

Sport and Leisure

Shute End

Wokingham

RG40 1WL
