"We at the Travers Foundation are hugely honoured that Madam Mayor, Cllr Julie Riley, has chosen us as a charity that she will support during her year-long term as Mayor of Corby.
"To reach the peak of your profession in sport, the creative or performing arts these days, you need to have lots of funding as well as lots of talent. Not every family can offer this financial commitment, so this is where charities such as ours can assist youngsters from all backgrounds fulfil their dreams.
"Thanks to Cllr Riley and the backing she is giving our charity, more young people will be able to access funds to help them achieve their potential."
