Sports and physical activity groups in Powys are being urged to take advantage of a grant worth up to £1,500 to help contribute to creating thriving clubs which will continue to create opportunities through good enterprise and innovation. In addition clubs and organisations have the opportunity to apply for an additional £1500 to target the following key areas:

Over £35,000 was awarded to local community sports clubs at last months grant meeting
