Every talented young person deserves the opportunity to achieve their potential
No matter what your discipline: music, drama, arts or sports, competing at a national level is expensive. And so it’s not surprising that so many young people and their families in Cornwall struggle to meet the costs associated with competing at a high level. Sadly this financial burden can lead to opportunities missed and talent unfulfilled.
We believe that no budding superstar should have their dreams dashed due to lack of finance.
