In a significant boost for local talent, Jersey Sport has announced the distribution of £280,000 in travel grants to support 45 athletes in their pursuit of excellence beyond the island. This funding initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden associated with off-island training and competition, enabling athletes to compete at higher levels and gain invaluable experience.

The grants are part of Jersey Sport's commitment to fostering athletic development and promoting sports on the island. By providing this financial assistance, the organization hopes to enhance the opportunities available to athletes, allowing them to participate in national and international events that would otherwise be beyond their reach.

Each selected athlete will receive a portion of the funding to cover travel expenses, accommodation, and other related costs. This initiative not only encourages individual growth but also aims to elevate the overall standard of sports in Jersey, inspiring future generations of athletes to strive for greatness.
