Geraint Thomas Cycling Trust joins WSA
The Welsh Sports Association (WSA) is delighted to welcome the Geraint Thomas Cycling Trust (GTCT) to the WSA membership base as a Full Member.
Set up in 2021, the GTCT exists to ensure that ‘every young person can enjoy the spirit of cycling by participating in cycling regardless of their individual circumstances.’
The Trust is committed to removing barriers, whether they be financial, geographical, knowledge of bike safety or maintenance, or something else.
They do this by providing a grant fund and support programme for young people, while collaborating with fellow cycling organisations to promote the sport.
