Fund which champions young athletes now back in business
Sunderland Echo
|July 31, 2025
A charity which champions our young athletes and athletes with disabilities has been brought back to life.
The Sunderland Sports Fund, a charitable trust established over 20 years ago, provides financial support to talented young athletes and sportspeople with disabilities of all ages across the Sunderland area.
After a period of inactivity during the pandemic, the charity is back in action, thanks to funding from the Martin Laing Foundation and Sunderland City Council, helping to nurture the city's sporting talent.
The funding will be used to award grants to individuals who live in, study in, or represent a sports club or organisation based in Sunderland.
