The English Schools Track and Field Championships 2026 has seen significant increases in cost this year due to reduced funding from England Athletics and general prices going up, resulting in a £30 increase per athlete. We are therefore looking for any businesses or individuals that would be interested in sponsoring or making a donation to Hampshire Schools Athletics, with the money going directly towards the cost of sending 70 of the best athletes in Hampshire to the English Schools Championships and reducing the amount they are required to pay.

Any donation amount would be greatly appreciated by the athletes and parents that support them. If we were to receive £1000, this would reduce the amount that every athlete has to pay by £15 and half the increase in cost for this year. In return for any sponsorship, we can offer promotion on our website and social media for the next year, as well as promotion at all of our championships and events throughout the year. We can also provide a photo of the team with a banner or similar of the company logo which could be used for your own advertisement. If there are other things that you would like in return for a sponsorship, please feel free to discuss this with us as we are open to other things if they are feasible.

If you are interested in this, please contact Jack Messenger (Chair of HSAA) to discuss further by emailing tfselection@hamsphireschoolsathletics.org

We will need confirmation of any donations by Friday 19th June so that we can send out the correct total cost to the athletes when selection takes place on the 20th June.
