VicHealth’s Funding for Local Sport and Active Recreation Clubs now open

August 18, 2015/in Media Releases

Sports and active recreation clubs in the Shepparton District are encouraged to apply for VicHealth Grants to increase the number of people participating at their clubs, contributing to healthy Victorian communities.

Applications for the first round of Active Club Grants can be submitted now until 18 September 2015.

“Each year, Active Club Grants support more Victorians to become active,” Member for Shepparton Suzanna Sheed said.

 

“Regular physical activity is a key factor in promoting good health and preventing chronic disease. These grants give clubs the opportunity to apply for funding to help purchase much needed core equipment and injury prevention items.

“I urge all clubs in the Shepparton District to consider what equipment they need to improve their club and to make a submission.”

VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said VicHealth had provided small grants to more than 10,000 community sport and active recreation clubs and organisations across Victoria for over 27 years.

“These grants help people in some of our most disadvantaged communities join their local sporting clubs. They also provide critical equipment to help those who would otherwise not be able to participate in sport; for instance, clubs can apply for funding for modified equipment for people with disabilities such as bell balls, bowling arms or portable ramps.

”This year’s Active Club Grants have two grant types clubs can apply for. We are offering clubs the option to apply for the traditional grant of up to $3,000 or a larger grant of up to $10,000 for core equipment that will help increase or maintain participation through their club,” Ms Rechter said. 

“We are offering up to 10 of these larger grants per round for clubs that can make a big impact and enable a greater number of Victorians to start or continue being physically active.”

“This may include large clubs with a high number of teams, clubs that are seeking to implement new programs and activities to increase participation, clubs trying to reach new community members, or clubs in areas experiencing significant population growth,” she said. 

For further information or to apply for this grant online, visit www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/activeclub.

Round 1 – opens Monday 17 August 2015 and closes Friday 18 September 2015

Round 2 – opens Monday 1 February 2016 and closes Friday 4 March 2016
