Why your support matters

Leeds has one of the most successful and respected diving programmes in the UK, with more than 100 divers training each week at the John Charles Centre for Sport. Our legacy includes Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth medals, but your support helps with the day to day realities that make that possible. Sponsorship and fundraising help us to:

• reduce financial barriers for families through bursaries and hardship support;
• fund travel, accommodation and entry costs for competitions across the UK and abroad;
• invest in equipment and facilities that keep our divers safe and progressing;
• support coach development and volunteer training;
• host major national events like White Rose and G Star in Leeds.
