West Midlands Talent Fund
SportsAid's West Midlands Talent Fund has been inducted into United by Birmingham 2022. A programme established by the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee.
The Games for Everyone
United by Birmingham 2022 recognised SportsAid’s new West Midlands Talent Fund initiative which aims to support 100 talented young athletes from the region each year from 2022-2026. The culmination of the initiative will coincide with SportsAid’s 50th anniversary year and the next Commonwealth Games in 2026. The Fund’s vision is to ensure that every young person from the West Midlands nominated to SportsAid for support will benefit from an award.
The United by Birmingham 2022 programme welcomed awarded non-commercial, distinct and exceptional projects, events or initiatives to show their support for the Games and join in the celebrations through participation in its community programme.
