LOCAL sporting clubs have benefited in the latest sport club grants, providing more opportunities for people to get involved in the community and sports they love.
The successful clubs include, Kilmore and District Little Athletics, Kilmore Football Netball Club, Mitchell Rangers Soccer Club, Seymour and District Amateur Swimming Club, Seymour Cricket Club, Seymour Junior Netball Association and the Kilmore and District Little Athletics.
The program provides funding for equipment and uniforms, taking the financial burden off clubs and support for volunteers and officials to learn new skills and deliver new programs.
Since 2014, The Sporting Club Grants Program has invested more than $19.5 million in local communities to support thousands of sport and recreation clubs across the state.
The program is backed by the Regional Community Sport Development Fund which is delivering infrastructure upgrades and other programs including the Regional Community Sport Infrastructure Fund to help more regional Victorians to get active and be a part of their local sporting clubs.
