Bag4Sport Foundation was set up to assist young up-and-coming talented athletes who find it difficult to raise finance in order to promote themselves. This charity also assists established athletes suffering financially following government cuts as well as disadvantaged children who would like to take part in sport and improve their social skills.
“They will rise highest who strive for the highest place”
The competition was promoted this year by the Gazette and Herald and also the Wiltshire Times who looked for 5 local young sports stars of tomorrow.
The 5 young local talented athletics chosen received their awards gathered with their families on Thursday 30 October 2014 in The Bear Hotel, Devizes – this was an exciting moment...
The evening started off with an introduction and welcome from Founder and Chairman of Bag4Sport Foundation Andrew Trusler, followed by the awards ceremony.
