Carolyn Male MP, State Member for Pine Rivers, is encouraging Pine Rivers organisations and sport and recreation clubs to put in an application for the latest round of the Bligh Government’s Sport and Recreation Active Inclusion program.
Carolyn Male MP said $3.5 million is being made available to help locals of all abilities and backgrounds access sport and recreation.
“Active Inclusion funds activities which encourage greater participation, education and training, and volunteer development and recruitment,” Carolyn Male MP said.
“Under this program, organisations can apply for funding under two categories – Healthy Eating and Physical Activity, and Community and Club Support Projects."
“Under the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity category, not-for-profit community organisations, sport and recreation clubs, schools and councils can apply for funding of up to $40,000 for healthy eating projects."
“The focus on improving healthy eating habits is a Queensland Government initiative to improve eating habits in local communities."
“Community Projects funding of up to $40,000 will be available for projects that increase access to sport and recreation for individuals and groups facing barriers to participation within the community."
“Funding of up to $5,000 will be available for Club Support Projects that build clubs through education and training, recruiting and retaining volunteers, and encouraging participation in sport and active recreation in their community.”
