The Trustees of the John Clements Sports and Community Trust are pleased to announce a grant of £20,000 from the Sylvia Adams Charitable Trust towards the new building. This charitable trust supports organisations which give socially excluded children and young people opportunities to become resilient and capable adults , especially through challenging activities , sport and the arts . It also supports organisations that are working to empower people with a disability through cultural and sporting opportunities getting them access to employment . This fits well with the plans for the youth room in the new Centre and the sports clubs’ general drive to involve more young people in sport and we have established links with EFDS ( English Federation of Disability Sport) to develop programmes for the disabled with Herts Sports Partnership.
The Trustees thank the Sylvia Adams Charitable Trust for this pledge which raises total pledges so far to £330,000. A Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all


On 12th April 1976 John Clements was tragically killed while attempting to rescue children trapped in a hotel fire in the skiing resort of Sappada in northern Italy.
