Brigit Folland has been successfully nominated for a SportsAid award. 'Sports Aid work with the National Governing Bodies of sport to recognise and support talented young sports people' (Sports Aid).

SportsAid partner, ASDA, fund the award winners like Brigit and work closely with them through the year inviting them to attend local publicity events - particularly with schools and the media. Asda will also help to raise funds for Brig through their Bristol store to help support her tennis training at TeamBath and fund her tournament travel.

To launch this year's programme, Brig has been invited to attend a Regional Athlete workshop where she will receive her award. This will be held at Southampton Football Club on Thursday 25th March. A significant part of the day will be a media workshop where journalists will run interactive sessions to help train athletes like Brig to communicate their story and raise their profile.

This will be an exciting and useful experience for Brig - CONGRATULATIONS!
