YOUNGSTERS from deprived backgrounds could qualify for sports grants.
The Dickie Bird Foundation was established in March 2004 with the aim of helping disadvantaged young people participate in sporting activities.
Grants ranging from £100 to £5,000 are up for grabs that can be used to cover the costs of sports kit and training expenses.
In exceptional circumstances, and at the discretion of trustees, larger grants can be given to set-up teams.
The Foundation can be contacted on 01943 873482 or email info@thedickiebirdfoundation.org
