Welcome To The BJC British Judo Foundation
The principal aim of the BJC British Judo Foundation is to access and generate funding to support and develop community participation in grassroots Judo in the UK.
The Foundation's stategic priorities are to:
-
Promote community participation in Judo through the provision of improved facilities available to grassroots Judo clubs and amateur Judo participants
-
Provide facilities in the interest of social welfare to improve the condition of the life of those participating.
-
Promote and provide training to coaches, officials and volunteers, school programmes, amateur events and competitions, workshops and holiday courses.
-
Provide financial assistance to economically disadvantaged individuals to enable their participation in the sport of judo
Priorities for 2011-2012 will be to:
-
Complete the establishment of the Foundation, including registration as a Charity and launch of the website. This has now been achieved.
-
Investigate the potential of funding from a range of organisations, sporting bodies, commercial partners, grant making charities and individuals in the form of grants and/or bequests; prepare, and initiate, a fund raising strategy
-
Develop, and publish, criteria for making grants, and assessing applications. These will be published at the Reception and Launch on 22nd September 2011.
-
Promote the Foundation through the various organs of the BJC and wider media.
-
Seek an individual(s) who can complement and promote the aims and objectives of the Foundation, and is willing to serve as its Patron. This has now been achieved.
As the Foundation develops over time its main focus will be as described above but it may widen its scope as circumstances and opportunities expand.
