Lucy Hatton and William Sharman (Trustee of the Travers Foundation) with Steve Watts and Chris Timms from Haines Watts The Travers Foundation are delighted to announce that local accountancy firm Haines Watts have agreed a three-year sponsorship arrangement with the charity.
Northamptonshire-based The Travers Foundation assists young people aged between 13 and 30 living in the county, Rutland and Leicestershire by helping them with funding in sports, the creative and performing arts.
Pictured here is Lucy Hatton, the Kettering-based hurdler, who is supported by The Travers Foundation, with William Sharman a Travers Foundation Trustee and Commonwealth Silver Medallist, and Chris Timms and Steve Watts, partners from the Kettering and Northampton offices of Haines Watts.
Lucy has had a fantastic 2015 season, going from local amateur athlete to Silver Medallist at the GB Indoor Championships followed by a European Indoor Silver medal in Prague - all achieved with the help of The Travers Foundation as at the time she received no other external funding.
Terry Forsey, Chairman of The Travers Foundation, commented:
“The problem these days in reaching the peak of your profession in sport, the creative or performing arts is that you need to have lots of funding as well as lots of talent. Not everybody has a willing benefactor who can give them this financial commitment. This is where charities such as The Travers Foundation can assist youngsters from all backgrounds fulfil their dreams. Whilst our beneficiaries acquire their basic skills at school, clubs or local associations and, indeed, these institutions provide an excellent foundation for their sport and artistic talents, as their ability improves and ambition grows, they often need additional qualified coaching, mentoring or teaching to help improve their skills and performance. By providing the necessary ongoing support needed by our young athletes and artists, we can ensure that we give them the very best start.
"Backing from the community and local businesses is key to our ability to continue to make improvements to the support we can offer and we’re delighted that Haines Watts have agreed to help us in this process.”
