This year, the awards categories for the Sporting Chance Awards will be as follows:
o Team of the Year
o Community Sports Club of the Year
o Young Volunteer of the Year
o Young Sportsperson of the Year
o Spirit of Sport Award
o Jean Ratcliff Lifetime Contribution Award
Former England cricket captain and Lord’s Taverners supporter, Mike Gatting, said: “The Lord’s Taverners is a wonderful charity and an organisation which I have had a close involvement with over a number of years. It is great to see a charity formally recognising the array of talent and dedication that exists within disability and mainstream sport at the Sporting Chance Awards, many of whom never receive the credit their efforts richly deserve.”
Lord’s Taverners CEO Paul Robin said: “We look forward to building on the success of last year’s event with an even bigger ceremony this time around. These awards are all about recognising young peoples’ efforts and achievements and we are proud as a charity of giving them a sporting chance, something all young people deserve. ”
