Former British Water Ski & Wakeboard (BWSW) Honorary President Major General Anthony Lascelles' estate left in 2002 a major bequest to support talented young athletes. Each year the Lascelles Panel accept applications from young athletes.  Although the bequest has since been exhausted, with the generous help of donors and monies donated from BWSW, we have been able to continue the awards. Grants are awarded to “highly promising” young athletes who are “active competitors in an active recognised sporting discipline” 

Presentations of the awards will take place at our Annual General Meeting which is being held on Sunday 19th January 2024 at Queens Club, London.  A note of thanks to the Lascelles Panel; Lizz Hobbs MBE, Karen Brooks, Nicky Caine, Dale Crossley, Jeremy Nevill and Ali White for their time and effort in assessing and awarding this year's grants.  The Lascelles Awards continues to seek donations to maintain the fund and support its work in supporting young athletes - if you would like to contribute to the fund please contact Patrick Donovan, CEO at our HQ.
