Grants available to develop grassroots sport throughout Powys
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:
o Better preparing clubs to cater for interest generated via 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to prepare for demand leading up to Glasgow 2014 and beyond
o Tackling inequality - BME, disability(inclusion), women & girls, social inclusion
Over £74,000 has been awarded to local community sports clubs so far this financial year.
The grants are available through the Sportlot Community Chest, the Sports Council for Wales National Lottery funded grant aid scheme, which is designed to make a difference to sport and physical activity locally.
With just over £25,000 still available for this financial year, Powys County Council are urging organisations to submit applications so they don’t miss out on the grant.
The next deadline for applications is 7th January 2014.
