Snap Fitness Andover is joining the nationwide search for the next generation of sporting talent with the launch of its Grassroots to Greatness grants programme – offering local athletes a chance to secure between £500 and £3,000 in funding.
Open to applicants aged 16 to 65 across the UK and Ireland, the new initiative aims to remove financial barriers that often hold athletes back, helping cover essential costs such as training, competition fees, travel, coaching, and equipment.
Kevin Yates, CEO of Lift Brands EMEA (Snap Fitness UK & Ireland’s parent company), said:
“At Snap Fitness, we’re committed to supporting individuals at every level of their fitness journey. This programme goes beyond just funding—it’s about identifying and uplifting athletes who show grit, determination and inspire those around them.”
Applications are open now and will close at the end of May. As well as sporting performance, applicants will be assessed on qualities such as personal growth, community impact, and resilience.
Snap Fitness hopes to connect more deeply with its local clubs—including Andover’s New Street branch—by empowering athletes who live and train in the heart of their own communities.
