MIC MORRIS MEMORIAL SPORTING TRUST

(Charity No: 519636)

The charity is named after a local policeman who was an excellent British athlete, but unfortunately died during a training run at the age of 24.

Torfaen Borough Council and Gwent Police established the charity in 1986 to help and encourage young people from age 11 - 21 years involved in a range of different sports that currently perform, train or compete at a national level and who reside in Torfaen.

All applications are considered at a meeting of the Trustees every three months. The following are the uses which a grant can be applied for:

Travelling expenses
Competition costs
Accommodation
Clothing
Equipment

The Trust has helped on average 34 young people per year who have each received a grant to help with their expenses.

The Trust endeavours to encourage every young person to be physically active and those who apply and are successful in obtaining this grant, encourages them to carry on with their chosen sport.

Torfaen has an exceptional amount of sporting talent which is being harnessed by community clubs around the borough and this talent has led to individuals being chosen to represent Wales at the Commonwealth Games and the Paralympics.

Each application reflects the amount of funding the Trustees decide to give. According to ability/ranking/national governing body/elite level, the amount of funding can range from £150 to £3000. The structure of grant funding below is a guideline for what can be included in the decision-making process.
