Get sporty and unite your community with £1 million UnLtd Sport Relief Awards

Young people aged between 11 - 21 now have the chance to unite their communities through sport, with the newly launched £1 million UnLtd Sport Relief Awards programme.

The UnLtd Sport Relief Awards is looking for inspirational young people who want to tackle social problems in their neighbourhoods.

The aim is to give young people the opportunity to unite people who are experiencing conflict or who are divided by background or culture, using the power of sport. 

Thomas McAlister, Scotland UnLtd Development Manager, said:

The exciting thing about the Sport Relief Awards are that they are youth-led and all about encouraging young people to become leaders in their communities.  Young people can be the solution to the problems of social conflict, the gangs and discord that are so much a current concern. A big part of UnLtd’s work is about getting young people involved at grassroots level and the Sport Relief awards will build on this experience.

Awards of between £250 and £5,000 will be available, for a wide range of sports projects; Award Winners must be passionate, driven and most of all, must want to make a real impact in their communities.
