Hide AdThe in-form Folkard has been selected for the GB team to compete in March’s European Indoor Championships in Spain.
However, with the Olympic programme no longer supporting indoor shooting, Folkard will have to fund the trip herself.
Folkard is therefore looking for sponsorship to help contribute to her estimated costs of £750.
