Cash available to help Littlehampton’s future sporting stars

Along with the Littlehampton sports forum, the council has helped develop sporting talent through its own financial awards, and now applications are again open to help the town’s sporting stars and future champions.

The financial awards for sporting excellence grant aims to assist those already at county level, develop their potential to progress further in their chosen sport.

With no age restrictions, the grants are available for those seeking financial support for training, competition fees, transport, accommodation and equipment.

Chairman of Littlehampton Town Council community resources committee, Malcolm Belchamber, said: “Assisting sporting talent is a significant aspect of the council’s work in the community and these grants often mean that sports people can continue to excel in their chosen sport and fly the flag for Littlehampton.”

Applications can be made online at www.littlehampton-tc.gov.uk

Hard copies can be obtained from the Littlehampton Town Council offices at Manor House, in Church Street. The closing date for applications is Friday, November 29.
