Protecting clean sport depends on everyone playing their part - athletes, coaches, or parents - whether on centre stage or behind the scenes. Speak out if you feel there’s something wrong - no matter how small. UKAD guarantee that your identity will always be kept 100% confidential.
- Pay for maintenance of existing equipment to keep everything in top condition.
- Train Alex as a volunteer run leader to help local parents challenge themselves safely.
- Buy six new running buggies, removing cost barriers for parents.
