Welshpool clubs cash in
Over £7,400 has been given to several sport organisations across the county with Welshpool Canoe Club and Welshpool Cricket Club cashing in.
Welshpool Canoe Club will receive £1,500 towards equipment, coach education and facility hire while the Cricket Club will receive £1,250 towards coach equipment.
Now other sports and physical groups are being urged by the council’s Sports Development Team to take advantage of the grants to help contribute to creating thriving clubs which will continue to create opportunities through enterprise and innovation.
The grants are designed to make a difference to sport and physical activity locally and are available through the Sportlot Community Chest, the Sports Council for Wales National Lottery funded grant aid scheme.
Cllr Rachel Powell, Cabinet Member for Sports Development, said: “I’m delighted that we have been able to award these grants to the seven clubs, which will help them thrive and make a difference to sport and physical activity in their area.
“With £90,000 available for this financial year, I’m urging organisations to submit applications so they don’t miss out on this grant funding.”
The next deadline for applications is September 6.
