This year, The Sports Trust celebrates its 30th anniversary and continues to play a key role in developing sports and facilities in under-resourced communities across South Africa since 1994.

One of its flagship initiatives, the Nedbank Sports Trust Cycling Development Programme, has transformed the lives of hundreds of young South Africans over the past 19 years. Funded by Nedbank, a founding sponsor, the programme has introduced cycling to schools that otherwise lack the resources to offer it as a sport.

Every year, the programme supplies bikes and supports the training and participation of 140 to 200 cyclists, aged 13 and older, across 12 under-resourced high schools in the Western Cape, including areas like the Cape Flats, Ocean View, Boland, and the West Coast.

Brent Williams, Coordinator of the Nedbank Sports Trust Cycling Development Programme, explains, “In all our schools, we follow a 3-year planning schedule, and each year, cyclists who are ready are selected to compete in road and mountain bike races, including the Cape Town Cycle Tour, Criterium (crit) races, and the Piketberg Mountain Bike Challenge.”
