Bisham Abbey has earned UK Sport accreditation as an Elite Training Centre. The national sports centre is one of the first in the country to receive Elite Training Centre (ETC) status from UK Sport, the organisation responsible for the strategic investment of Government and National Lottery money into Olympic and Paralympic sport and other major events. To be awarded as one of the very first ETCs by UK Sport is a proud moment for myself and the whole team at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre. We’re delighted that our behind-the-scenes support for elite Olympic and Paralympic sportsmen and women has been recognised with this prestigious accreditation.”Dr Kate Baker, director of performance at UK Sport, said: “Our ETC hosts provide the essential daily training environments for our Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Bisham Abbey is managed by Serco Leisure on behalf of Sport England.
