The English Schools Athletic Association (ESAA) finds itself without a sponsor and in financial crisis as its centenary anniversary looms.
The Association is entirely volunteer-led with nobody in the organisation taking any salary from its activities. The ESAA relies solely on a large group of teachers and retired teachers who volunteer for the benefit of young athletes and their love of the sport.
The Association are working hard to secure a new sponsor. In the interim however, we hope to utilise this crowdfunding to secure funds for the 2022 Track & Field Championships. We hope this will enable the Championships to go ahead without passing additional costs on to the athletes and teams – else this may restrict entry for many talented young athletes.
Our target of £100,000 would enable us to keep the entry fee at the same level as before and ensure that no athlete who qualifies is left at home because they can’t afford the entry fee.
