TIME is running out to apply for Bexley's Sporting Best grant programme.
Sporting Best provides funding for talented sports people across the borough who are already competing at national and international level.
Applicants must live in Bexley and have to be over 14 years old after September 1.
Cabinet member for leisure, Councillor Don Massey, said: "London 2012 has made us focus on sports participation in Great Britain and the importance of nurturing our young talent.
"With 2016 next on the horizon we would urge any young Bexley sports men and women currently competing at this level to apply for Sporting Best funding.
"It could make all the difference to a local budding Olympian."
The deadline for applications is August 31.
