The CGA actively encourages young sportsmen and women through a sponsorship programme. Since its launch in 2001, eight young hopefuls have received the CGA’s support and financial assistance. Progress is featured in the members’ magazine and a number of the sponsored individuals have already achieved considerable success.

Funding arrangements for different sports vary considerably but the CGA is often surprised just how difficult it can be for highly talented youngsters to pursue their dreams. The CGA believes that sporting opportunities are vital for the health of the country’s youth. Seeking to be as supportive as possible the CGA has provided financial assistance for highly charged young racing drivers through to graceful figure skaters.
