OCS Young Sports Person Awards
We believe that the OCS Sports Award is more than just another sports award offering sports funding and bursaries to young sports people. We take the opportunity to celebrate with our customers and staff the fantastic acheivements of these future sports stars.
In 2010 we will celebrate our 13th year of Awards - supporting tomorrow’s future sports stars. For the third year we’ve added a new dimension by joining forces with SportsAid, the charity responsible for funding emerging sports talent in the UK and helping the next generation of British athletes succeed.
Since the awards began in 1998, OCS has made sports bursaries in excess of £260,000 to over 150 deserving young people and, over the last 30 years,
SportsAid has supported in excess of 1,500 able bodied and disabled young sports people each year.
The passion and dedication needed to develop sporting excellence is like no other. Working in association with
SportsAid our aim is to give outstanding young athletes recognition to help them with the strain of training, travelling and competing, taking the pressure off by offering help at the start of their journey when, more often than not, parents and guardians are the solitary sponsor. At this stage, independent recognition and financial assistance makes a huge difference.
OCS are supported by many associations including:
