MORE than 260 grassroots sport and recreation clubs will be helped to address barriers to sporting participation, creating more inclusive ways to access sport across Victoria.
As part of National Volunteer Week celebrations, Minister for Community Sport Ros Spence has announced the latest successful recipients of the Sporting Club Grants Program – which are sharing in more than $520,000.
The projects supported in this round have a strong focus on boosting club capacity and promoting the valuable work of volunteers in helping clubs get back in the game this year. The Program provides up to $1,000 for uniforms and equipment, up to $2,000 for training or courses that improve the skills of coaches, officials, volunteers, and administrators, and up to $5,000 for projects that create new participation opportunities, improve accessibility, or strengthen club operational capacity.
Since 2015, the Sporting Club Grants Program has invested more than $15.5M to support clubs and their volunteers across the state, in positive and trying times. For more information on the grants and a full list of recipients sport.vic.gov.au.
