Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme 2020 | Now Open for Applications
The Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme offers financial supports – provided by Sport Ireland – to local clubs, groups and organisations, nationwide who promote increased participation in recreational sport or physical activity for older people. It aims to assist in the implementation of locally developed, well-planned activity and sport initiatives. In particular, the scheme is aimed at:
• Supporting the work of Age & Opportunity Active including the network of PALs (Physical Activity Leaders) and the development of Go for Life Games and other initiatives;
• Assisting local clubs/organisations to enhance existing opportunities for their members in recreational sport and physical activity;
• Assisting local clubs/organisations to start new initiatives geared at involving older people in recreational sport and physical activity.
This year there will be a few minor changes as a result of the impact of Covid-19 and the restrictions imposed by NPHET. It is important that you review the Terms and Conditions. The Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme opens for applications in August. The deadline for applications for this year’s allocation is 12 noon Friday 2nd October 2020.
