We understand that when people experience financial hardship or crisis that all too often it can result in them missing out on important opportunities which can transform their lives. Here at the British Gymnastics Foundation, we are committed to opening doors for people who are experiencing exceptionally difficult times. Our work in the area of hardship has two strands:

Our Hardship Grants Programme provides financial assistance to British Gymnastics members to help them continue participating in gymnastics.

When people are experiencing significant hardship and/or crisis, often sport is the first thing to go – just when it’s needed most. Our Hardship Grants programme provides financial support to enable British Gymnastics members to continue in gymnastics through exceptionally difficult times. Current individual members can apply for hardship funding including gymnasts, coaches and volunteers.

We awarded 97 grants totalling £21,654 last year!

If you’re not a member of British Gymnastics, but are an individual or a community group that is experiencing exceptionally difficult times – you could still benefit from our support. Whether it is through gymnastics leadership courses, gymnastics classes or even inspirational gymnastics experiences.
