SportsAid is a UK charity that helps the next generation of British sport stars at the start of their careers when their parents are their only other means of support. The charity helps these athletes by giving them cash awards to help them meet the cost of training and competing. ==Overview== In a typical year more than 1,500 of the UK's brightest sporting prospects receive SportsAid Awards of around £1,000 funded by the charity's partners, donors and supporters.
