The Ellie Soutter Foundation
Since the tragic passing of Ellie on her 18th birthday, 25th July 2018, in her memory, Ellie’s family have decided to continue fundraising under Ellie’s name for young winter athletes that need financial assistance to achieve their potential and dreams, in much the same way as Ellie had looked for your help.
As a junior athlete coming from a family without substantial wealth, Ellie often had to miss out on competing and training through lack of funds. She felt and understood the constant pressure to obtain the necessary funds for her training and events. A full season of required training to maintain this level of competition was in excess of £30,000 annually. At this time, as a Junior GB athlete, there is minimal or no funding for travel or accommodation and athletes have to pay a subscription for coaching.
The Ellie Soutter Foundation has been formed in her memory to help and assist other young winter athletes in similar circumstances.
