Member for Robertson Gordon Reid is encouraging eligible organisations to apply for grants under The Federal Labor Government’s $200M Play Our Way Program.
The program supports local governments and community, not-for-profit and sporting organisations deliver initiatives that make sport more welcoming and equitable for women and girls.
Grants are available in two streams: Facilities – for projects that establish and improve sporting facilities that are designed for women and girls and further encourage them to take part in sport and physical activity; and Participation and equipment – for programs that encourage women and girls to participate and remain involved in sport and physical activity for life, by tackling barriers such as disadvantage or lack of equipment.
“This $200M investment in women’s and girls’ sports is a great win for the Central Coast and our female athletes and sports participants,” Reid said.
“The funding available will help strengthen women’s and girls’ sports programs across the nation and here on the Central Coast.
“Funding will help with the viability of sports programs for women and girls, as well as for equipment purchases.
“The Play Our Way program will also help with sports facility refurbishments and upgrades to ensure they are fit for purpose.
“I encourage all eligible applicants in our region to apply for funding and to request a letter of sport from my office.”
