A new charitable trust, supported by England Golf, has been launched and will provide grants and bursaries for boys and girls who need financial help to play the game.

The aim of the England Golf Trust is to help young people, aged under 21, or in full-time education. The funds are not just for elite players but very much for ‘ordinary’ golfers – those who in the future will make up the heart and soul of a golf club. By providing this support, we will create ‘champions’ not only on the golf course but in society; to foster a life-long sporting habit and to allow young people to develop life skills closely associated with the game including confidence, self-esteem and integrity.

To ensure the future well-being of golf we need to attract young people to the game and to give encouragement and support to those who do take it up. The England Golf Trust is committed to this aim and to identifying and supporting future club members or players at whatever level they aspire to. The method of achieving this is through the awarding of annual grants and bursaries.
