Sports Training Grants for RBKC Residents

Westway Development Trust’s sports training grant scheme assists local people with the fee (and in some cases books, travel costs, and materials) for part-time or short sports courses, which qualify them to coach or instruct groups or individuals.

A national recognised National Governing Body must run the course. Grants will not be made where fees have already been paid. The Trust has set aside £4,000 for Sports Training Grants in 2008/09 and the maximum grant to any individual is normally £300 per year.
