National governing body (NGB)
British Swimming nominates up to 30 World Class Talent Group members to SportsAid each year based on the recommendations of its National Performance Manager. British Swimming runs talent programmes with the aim of maximising results at the Paralympic and international levels, ensuring long-term success. SportsAid is very much integral to this.
The nomination process
SportsAid only supports unfunded athletes who are nominated by their sport's national governing body. This ensures the right athletes get the right help at the right time - enhancing the sports' talent development programmes rather than duplicating them. Nominations take place every autumn.
You should contact your sport about whether you meet the criteria for the next round of SportsAid awards. Meeting the nomination criteria does not necessarily guarantee a SportsAid award because the charity can only distribute what it has fundraised.
