Our Development Pathway
The Travers Foundation provides support through a three-tier development pathway that reflects each young person’s stage of progression, commitment and engagement.
• Level 1 Opportunity Support - removing financial barriers for young people beginning or continuing a structured development journey. Up to £750 to help young people unlock opportunity.
• Level 2 Development Support – helping young people build confidence, resilience and skills as they continue progressing. Up to £1,500 to support commitment, development and engagement.
• Level 3 Performance Pathway Support – Supporting young people pursuing advanced progression opportunities in sport, music or the arts, including national, international or advanced performance pathways.
All awards to new Members will normally begin at Level 1 - Opportunity Support.
Advancement to Level 2 or Level 3 requires evidence of development, continued commitment and active participation in our fundraising efforts, including support for Foundation events, campaigns, or online activities.
This approach ensures that every Member benefits from and contributes to the ongoing success of The Travers Foundation community.
