NURTURING TALENT
in our young people
The Travers Foundation announces new funding for 2022, providing unrivalled support to local young people.
The Travers Foundation
provides vital financial support
to young people who otherwise
cannot pursue their dreams in
sport, creative and performing
arts. The Travers Foundation
is run by a team of volunteers, meaning every penny they raise goes directly towards helping local young people. The Travers Foundation
is committed to helping young people from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland to realise their dreams.
Terry Forsey, Chairman
of The Travers Foundation, said, “As we emerge from the pandemic, young people are now playing catch up across sport, creative and performing arts. Our work is essential to help them get back on track.”
“As we start the year, we’re
looking for young sportspeople
who we can support by funding
their Coaching and their
Competition costs. We’re looking
for young musicians we can
support by funding live video
performances and recording
studio time and we’re looking for young actors, dancers, or producers who we help with coaching and production costs.
Since our inception, we have spent almost £250,000 funding over 600 young people.
• We’ve helped fund skilled young people
to progress from local winners to world champions, winning over 1,500 medals in local, national, and international competitions.
• We’ve helped local musicians to record and release their debut albums.
• And we’ve helped aspiring actors and producers to launch
their acting, filmmaking, and production careers.
The application process is quick and easy to complete; visit our website www.travers- foundation.org.uk and select
“Apply for support”.
