The
foundation was established by Dickie in March 2004, with the aim of helping
disadvantaged young people, nationwide, to participate in sport.
The foundations objective is to assist financially disadvantaged young people
under 18 years of age to participate, to the best of their ability, in the
sport of their choice irrespective of their social circumstances, culture or
ethnicity and to ensure that, in doing so, they improve their chances both
inside and outside sport.
It is the foundations fervent hope that, through their efforts and the grants made,
more young people will be able to access sport and fulfil their ambitions as sportsmen
whilst at the same time improving their prospects in life.
