From an eight year-old skateboarder to an 80-year-old athlete, 75 gifted sportspeople are being supported by the Talented Athlete Scheme this year.
Nine-year-old Martha Eggleton joined the Wight Trash skateboarding team in 2018.
The youngest female skateboarding to be on the team, Martha is a dedicated and gutsy skater, who practices every day after school at her local skatepark and travels to the mainland on weekends to take part in competitions.
Martha is also part of the Isle of Wight’s Talented Athlete Scheme.
