GLL Sport Foundation Application Window Will Open 20th December

Cornwall is proud to have 178 local talented athletes that are supported through GLL Sport Foundation.

Each year the numbers of athletes being supported has grown both nationally and locally.

We hope that we can encourage more athletes to submit an application for the 2026/2027 programme.

20th December is the date you need to remember, this is the opening of the applicaiton window. The window remains open until 20th February 2027.

The GLL Sport Foundation, supports athlete development with a complete support package including financial, training memberships and sport science. It enables supported athletes to achieve success and use them to inspire the next generation of athletes and our wider communities.

Our Cornish Athletes this year have really risen to the challenges of competing at the highest levels. 

Michael Edwards - Judo winning Silver at the British Veterans Championships this October in Glasgow, resulting in a call up for the GBR Judo Team.

Felicity Marriott - Para Equestrian competed in the Summer Gold Final at Somerford in September, coming 4th with a really good score.

Neil Eddy - Triathlon won a bronze medal at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in Nice.

So we are looking to raise the profile even further both in Cornwall and across the Country.

If you are an athlete, a parent of a young talented athlete, you are a teacher who knows of pupils that are excelling in their sport regionally, nationally, then please share the links to apply to the Foundation.

Look out for more information through our media platforms.
