Age and Opportunity and the Irish Sports Council has just announced that €350,000 has been allocated under the 10th National Grant Scheme for Sport and Physical Activity for Older People.
Any local group seeking to provide increased opportunities for older people to participate in sport and physical activity may apply for a grant. Grants range from €350 to €850 and are typically used by groups to purchase equipment or so that members may explore a new sporting activity.
Groups can contact the Mayo Sports Partnership at 094 904 7025 or log on to www.mayosports.ie for information and to obtain application forms.
