We are seeking your funding support for our Great Britain 6 team members to take their single seat Gliders and compete in the Women´s World Gliding Championship in Zbraslavice, Czech Republic 26 Jul/9 Aug 2025
Each Individual team member costs are estimated up to £5,000 each.
These individuals costs include the gliders' road transport (UK to the Czech Republic), ferries/ Eurotunnel, daily glider launch fees, food and accommodation (for a 3 weeks stay in Zbraslavice), team training, additional insurance and more.
Many of team GB´s competitors are fully funded by their state. We are not.
So you can appreciate how much your financial help is both needed and appreciated.
A Bit More about UK Gliding. Gliding is an inclusive amateur sport. It aims to extend the fun and experience of ´´silent flight´´ to all ages and backgrounds. The 80 or so UK clubs are essentially run by volunteers supported by a small number of professional staff. This makes gliding available and accessible to all.
But you may not be aware our gliding outreach goes further. Volunteer club members give visits and presentations to educational organisations and a range of industries and professions highlighting Gliding´s complementary STEM Skills, Organisational & Decision Making Skills. Gliding builds skills for life, creating huge added value for Aviation, Industry, Services and beyond in addition to an individual's career development.
Our Women´s Team GB members are all exemplars of this outreach programme, being Volunteers, Gliding Instructors, World Class Role Models, and of course World Class Glider Pilots.
If a presentation to your organisation is of interest to you then please contact us.
