Helping young athletes

At OCS we are passionate about nurturing talent, not just within our business but in our community too.

Since 1998, we have made bursaries in excess of £500,000 to over 200 of the UK's most promising young athletes. Fourteen of our OCS Young Sportsperson Award winners represented Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics. Thirteen took part in the Rio 2016 Olympics, including Louis Smith MBE and gymnast Beth Tweddle MBE.

The awards are run in partnership with SportsAid, the charity responsible for funding emerging sports talent in the UK.
