The Lord Lieutenant’s Fund for Young and Talented, which is also supported by Wimborne engineering company Superior Seals, awards grants of up to £1,000 towards costs that might prevent youngsters from making the most of their natural ability – such as buying kit and clothing or helping to cover the cost of competition entry fees, coaching, travel and accommodation.

The fund, now in its ninth year, has so far awarded almost £70,000 to 75 young people, including Olympic 100m butterfly swimmer Jacob Peters from Poole, who was a recipient early in his career.

We are looking donations so that we can support more talented young people – see how you can get involved below.
