SPORTING GROUPS ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR NEW UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT

Federal Member for Hunter, Dan Repacholi MP, is encouraging local sporting groups to apply for the next round of the Australian Sports Foundation Active Kids Grant for new uniforms and sports equipment.

The Active Kids grant program, funded through the Australian Sports Foundation aims to improve the physical and mental health of children and young Australians by encouraging and increasing sports participation through the provision of equipment or uniforms to eligible community organisations.

Active Kids grants are intended to assist clubs and organisations to support and encourage young Australians, aged 20 or under, to improve their physical and mental health by increasing their participation in sport.

Grants are for the provision of sports equipment and on-field uniform supplied by the ASF’s partners. No cash grants are available in the 2022 Active Kids grant round.

“Active Kids grants are available to assist clubs and organisations to support and encourage young Australians, aged 20 or under, to participate in sport,” Mr Repacholi said.

“Grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded in the form of equipment and on-field uniform.

“As a father of two young girls who are heavily involved in sport, I know how expensive sports equipment and uniforms can be for a club.

“These grants are a great opportunity for clubs to get assistance with these big upfront costs.

“Information is available on my website at www.DanRepacholiMP.com or clubs can call my office,” said Mr Repacholi.
