Forms of sports support for low-income children and young people

TU11 support

Through the taekwondo athletes' campaign, we have collected money to support needy enthusiasts during a difficult time and also after. There have been a lot of support donations, and we can once again be grateful and proud of the unwavering support of our enthusiasts and those close to us.

The grant application is open to all enthusiasts under the age of 16.

Make an application using the form found at the link below. Write the reasons on a general level. Do not put sensitive information in the application, and not, for example, your income in numbers. We ask for clarifications as needed. The recipients of the support are determined primarily according to the wishes of the supporters. If there are no wishes, we will put the applicants in order based on the applications. The receipt of support will be notified by e-mail.
