Introducing The Travers Foundation

31/12/2022

 
Life’s not fair for young people who are trying to make their mark in sports, performing and creative arts. They can be at a tremendous disadvantage. There are no apprenticeships, no government grants and no workplace training programmes. Often the only source of funding is family or friends, or nothing.
 
That’s simply not fair and this is the motivation behind the Travers Foundation.

 
Founded in 2012, The Travers Foundation provides vital financial support to help young people to pursue their dreams in sport, creative or performing arts. We are a team of volunteers, which means every penny we raise goes directly towards helping local young people from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland.
 
Since our inception we have spent almost £300,000 funding over 250 young people.
 
 - We’ve helped fund skilled young people to progress from local winners to world champions, winning over 1,500 medals in local, national, and international competitions.
 - We’ve helped local musicians to record and release their debut albums.
 - And we’ve helped aspiring actors and producers to launch their acting, film making and production careers.
