Bursary Awards
Providing financial help to young Wirral sports people to achieve their sporting goals
About the Sports Forum Bursary Award Scheme
The Wirral Sports Forum provides a voice for local sports clubs, associations and leagues on Wirral. Supported by Wirral Council, the Forum acts as a unique networking hub to assess the sporting needs of the area and provide help and advice on a range of subjects including Clubmark accreditation and sports promotion. The Forum exists to help promote and, where possible, support Wirral’s developing sporting talent. Part of this contribution is to raise funds for a unique bursary scheme.
The Forum annually announces to its members the opportunity of applying for a sports bursary that will provide financial help to young sports people to achieve their sporting goals.
“Joining the Wirral Sports Forum allows Clubs the opportunity to apply for our sports bursaries.”
This year’s 2020 Bursary awards ceremony were due to take place at Wallasey Town Hall on April 29th where presentations were going to be made by the Mayor of Wirral. Sadly, due to the Coronavirus incident, this award ceremony has had to be postponed.
Chair of the Forum Ronan Kearney commented “The annual Wirral Sports Awards significantly contributes to our bursary scheme. I would encourage all Wirral’s sports Clubs and Association representatives to join the Forum. Joining the Wirral Sports Forum allows Clubs the opportunity to apply for our sports bursaries.”
With the current Covid 19 situation our Sports Bursary Awards have been put on hold. Applications received will be reviewed and considered as the situation becomes more clear.
