Here’s a model way long jump runway for children is funded in the UK, and a good idea that African athletics federations and local governments can copy to promote a healthy lifestyle and bring the local community together.

Throughout the UK, many schools do not have adequate athletics facilities for children to use and develop their skills, in most cases there is either no athletics facility at all or the existing one is in desperate need of refurbishment.

The problem for a lot of schools is that it can sometimes be difficult to find the budget and time to improve an athletic sports facility or install a new one. This is where Soft Surfaces Ltd can help with long jump runway funding opportunities.

There are a vast number of funding organisations across the UK who have set aside funds to help schools build new long jump runway facilities which can be used to promote a healthy lifestyle and bring the local community together.

The Wilmslow, UK-based construction company can guide schools through the whole process including offering support with writing the bid to apply for funding, securing an order and installing the brand new free long jump runway facility for your school.

But what’s the catch? Well, there really isn’t a catch; all the school has to do is place an order with Soft Surfaces Ltd for the installation of the new long jump runway on the proviso that the school receives the full amount of funding for the facility. If the funding application is unsuccessful, the school don’t pay anything and won’t lose out.

In order to be eligible for funding, it needs to be clear that the installation of the new long jump runway will benefit the whole community as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle for kids.

Allowing the athletics facility to be open to the public once it has been built will be a great way to help with the funding application.

This infographic has been designed to show the full process from the funding application to the installation of a new long jump athletics facility:
