SportsAid helps the sports stars of tomorrow today by giving them recognition and financial support during the critical formative years of their careers. These athletes are typically aged 12 to 18 and are among Britain’s brightest hopes for future Olympic and Paralympic success.

As part of its Disability Sport programme, Deloitte’s support for SportsAid is channelled directly into helping disabled athletes on the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme, which provides specialist services and funding while they are in higher or further education.
