Most of our members are elite British athletes funded via UK Sport’s World Class Programme within Olympic and Paralympic sport.
We also support some elite athletes from progression sports or sports that access our services privately. You can find out if you’re a member by clicking below.
Members can access our services for free during their careers and for six months after they come off-programme. Every one of our members remains part of our alumni community for life.
The BEAA provides support, representation and community for all our members.
Our support is independent and confidential, and can advise on matters like your mental health, selection disputes or appeals, transitioning out of sport, funding, legal problems, and more.
We also represent the athlete voice in system-wide decision making. We provide services like Athlete Representatives and the Athlete Advisory Forum to ensure athletes’ views are heard, and regularly listen to and share opinions on matters such as funding and welfare. If you want to raise an issue, please speak with us.
Finally, we provide a sense of community to elite British athletes past and present through our alumni platform, athlete networks, and by championing each of our members for achievements big and small.

Support and representation are crucial for elite athletes. From my own career I know the importance of an effective athlete association
