Galway City Council has awarded €140,000 in funding under the latest round of the Sports Club Grant Scheme.
Grants of up to €3,500 were awarded to 50 sports clubs and organisations in everything from GAA to Judo to Sailing and many, many more.
The funding allocated to the successful clubs will go towards the costs of equipment, coaching, and travel, as well as a significant level going towards up-skilling volunteers.
“Galway City Council has a very strong record of supporting sport and physical activity in the city. This grant scheme assists the good work being delivered on the ground by the many dedicated volunteers across all sports.”
These grant schemes are being delivered in association with Galway Sports Partnership.
