FUND HER TRI UK
COMMUNITY
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY?
Fund Her Tri UK (FHT UK) is committed to increasing gender diversity in triathlon by breaking down barriers and providing a wide range of support for women.
Our community primarily focuses on supporting beginners, but experienced female triathletes are also welcome to join. We’d love to have you be part of our thriving community, and you can even support us as a mentor.
Joining our community is FREE, but donations of any size are always appreciated to help us continue our mission.
HOW WE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY
Communication
1
Our WhatsApp community is our main channel for connecting you with other beginner triathletes and experienced triathletes to help you navigate the sport and provide that sense of camaraderie and support you need.
Exclusive discounts and priority access
2
By joining our community you will also have access to:
-
Swim, bike and run events that we are targeting as a community and discount to some races that we are able to secure for our athletes
-
Discount from brands exclusively for our community
-
Priority registration to Fund Her Tri UK events, accessto webinars and a range of educational resources
Financial support
3
Triathlon is an expensive sport and we want to help reduce some of the financial costs for athletes where finances are a barrier, whilst acknowledging that we are a small charity with limited funds.
We don’t do means testing, but to be eligible for the support below, we require a self-declaration from you that finances are a barrier and you would like to be considered.
First triathlon sponsorship
4
We are able to cover the cost of your first triathlon (up to Olympic distance) - this is the backbone of Fund Her Tri UK and our oldest programme.
To review the requirements and if you are eligible, please see more information on our website.
Equipment donation
5
The triathlon community is very generous and often we get some pre-used and new equipment donated.
This is typically available to all our community, but we prioritise those in need and those who have not had donated equipment from us before. These donations are announced only in our WhatsApp Community group.
Mentorship
6
Our mentoring programme takes place on a rolling basis and is always open (as long as we have mentors available).
You’ll be paired with an experienced triathlete in a small group for a series of meetings over the course of 6 months. Your mentor will share their experience in triathlon and answer any questions you might have as a beginner in the sport. Please note: this is not a coaching programme!
Learn more about our mentoring program on our website.
