Special Olympics Great Britain is delighted to confirm that the Toyota Coaching Fund has been extended to enable more of its members to apply for funding that supports their development.
Thanks to the continued support of valued partner Toyota (GB), the fund offers up to £180 per applicant to help cover the cost of accredited coaching qualifications across Special Olympics GB’s 27 official sports. In addition, the Toyota Coaching Fund can also be used towards First Aid qualifications and other approved coaching development programmes.
Chris Smith, Head of Sport for Development at Special Olympics GB, said: “Together with Toyota, we’re helping grow the next generation of inclusive sports coaches — ensuring that every athlete has the chance to be supported, challenged, and celebrated.
“If you’re a Special Olympics GB athlete, volunteer, or existing coach, we encourage you to apply and take the next step in your coaching journey.
When our coaches thrive, our athletes shine even brighter. The Toyota Coaching Fund removes financial barriers and enhances the sporting experience for our athletes, while helping our volunteers achieve their development goals.
