In an effort to create new opportunities to get more Victorians playing sport and improve their health, VicHealth Active Club Grants are now available to community sporting clubs.

The grants will primarily focus on increasing female participation as well as supporting sporting programs for Victorians who are ‘less active’.

Emma Kealy, the Nationals Member for Lowan, said that there were two levels of funding available through the grants; with up to $3,000 and $10,000 available.

The aim of the grants is get everyone active and embracing healthier lifestyles, regardless of their abilities, genders or their ages.
