Bucks 2012

Buckinghamshire SportsAid Foundation


You can help aspiring Buckinghamshire Olympians and Paralympians through the Buckinghamshire SportsAid Foundation.

The Foundation aims to raise money to help young Bucks sporting talent.  On average each athlete spends nearly £5,000 per year on equipment, training and travelling.  SportsAid, a national charity, working with Buckinghamshire County Council and the County Sports Partnership are developing partnerships with local companies to help fund these talented young people. who have been identified by the Sport Governing Bodies.

The Bucks SportsAid Foundation has been established to support local athletes that have been inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.  In partnership with SportsAid - the only UK charity directly helping talented young British sportsmen and women -  the purpose of the Foundation is to develop partnerships with local companies to raise money to support talented sportsmen and women from Bucks to achieve their sporting goals.  

The first athletes to benefit from this funding were
Joshua Radvan, 15 year old modern pentathlete from Beaconsfield

Samuel Prosser, 17 year old rower from Marlow

George Lennox, 13 year old judo player from Chesham

Michael Mottram, 17 year old rower from Stoke Mandeville

Omiari Miller, 14 year old basketball player from Shenley

Jo Hunter, 16 year old hockey player from Weston Turville

Larissa Gateley, 15 year old judo player from Aylesbury



 

That’s why SportsAid is so vital and why Bucks has teamed up with SportsAid to establish a Sports Foundation for the County.

 

“For me, it wasn’t just the funding that I received from Spots Aid, important though that was in the early stages of my development, but it was the fact that other people recognised my potential and wanted to support me that really spurred me on”

Adrian Moorhouse MBE

Olympic Gold Medallist

Chairman of the Bucks Coordinating Group for the 2012 Games
