"The Lloyd Cowan Bursary helped me buy new kit and spikes for training and competitions which meant a lot. It helped me during the rough times of the pandemic. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"This bursary means absolutely everything. Being able to purchase equipment will mean there will no longer be an unnecessary barrier to my groups training and potential progression."

"I am so grateful to receive every penny of assistance as pole vaulting is an extremely expensive event and one that requires more equipment than most. On top of this there is also the cost of transporting the poles around the country. Thank you very much for your help."

"This will enable me to support my athletes at their competitions with travel costs and to purchase a few new pieces of kit to support them, mentor them and guide them as a coach in their quest to be the best athletes they can be. Thank you so much. "

"The bursary money’s helped me buy new shorts because I ripped my shorts at a competition, and it’s helped me to pay for some indoor competitions. It also paid for some winter trousers to help keep me dry! Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it."

"Creating my hurdles academy has been a dream for some time. With the bursaries help, it's enabling me to work with some great young hurdlers and, hopefully, continue the legacy Lloyd left behind in the world of hurdling."

"A huge thank you to the Lloyd Cowan Bursary. Without it wouldn’t be able to buy specialist equipment such as the shoes I used in my last three races. Thank you to everyone who donated and made this grant possible to help young athletes like myself progress further in their sport."

"Thank you very much for thinking of my group. The money will go towards buying running bibs for winter as we go out on the streets. We need new exercise cards, a new stop watch just more bits to help us on our way.
Thank you very much. "

"This bursary means a lot to me as an athlete. I train six times a week and compete often; therefore, costs for race entries, travel, training, clothing and shoes can be very expensive. Getting this grant will really support and benefit me in continuing on my athletic path. Thank you so much."

"This will allow me the opportunity to fund my professional learning in the sport. I plan to use the bursary to develop my knowledge of my S&C work which in turn should directly impact the work of my athletes."
