The Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme 2023 is now open for applications from groups that promote older people’s physical activity across County Westmeath.
Funded by Sport Ireland, a total of €320,000 is being made available to all eligible local clubs, groups, care settings and organisations across the country that promote increased participation in recreational sport or physical activity for older people as a main element of their activities.
Funding for sports clubs will only be considered if the application specifically relates to older people. Grants are made available for sport and physical activity for older people and the overall club membership of applicants must be such that older people will be the beneficiaries of the grant monies.
The grants will announced in early May 2023.
