Representative Fund

Achieving success in sport brings wonderful self-esteem, recognition and personal achievement. Unfortunately it can often be expensive due to travelling costs, entry fees, additional equipment and accommodation costs. To assist those representing the City at County, Regional, National or International level the Sports Development Team are co-ordinating a Representative Fund to assist with many of the related costs.
