THE HON SHAYNE NEUMANN MP, FEDERAL MEMBER FOR BLAIR

Federal Member for Blair Shayne Neumann is calling on local sporting clubs and organisations to apply for grants to cover the cost of new uniforms or sporting equipment.

The Australian Sports Foundation’s (ASF) 2023 Active Kids Grants are now open.

The grant is available for volunteer-run community clubs and organisations with members aged 20 or younger.

These will be awarded in the form of sports equipment and on-field or training uniforms, to be supplied by ASF partners HART Sport and ISC.

Active Kids Grants aim to improve the physical and mental health of children and young Australians by encouraging and increasing sports participation through the provision of equipment to eligible community organisations.

The grant program is funded by the Dickinson Foundation in partnership with the ASF.

Mr Neumann said the grants were a practical way to help grassroots sporting clubs through in-kind support.

“If your child’s local team needs new uniforms or equipment to kick off the season, then the Australian Sports Foundation’s 2023 Active Kids Grants may be for you.

“The new funding round is now open and closes at 5pm on 29 September 2023. So, get your applications in and get ready to gear up!”
