Each year the National Grant Scheme for Sport and Physical Activity for Older People provides funding to assist in the implementation of locally developed well planned initiatives that are designed to increase participation in recreational sport and physical activity among older people.
Waterford Sports Partnership will use its grant to deliver a physical activity programme for older men. Across Ireland, over 27,000 older people will be taking part in physical activity initiatives funded by the 2015 round of grants. Go for Life Manager, Mary Harkin, is delighted with the response to this year's scheme: "At Go for Life, it is important for us that older people continue to get access to the spread of games, sports and activities to stay active and healthy. All adults, no matter what age, need 30 minutes of physical activity most days a week. The scheme ensures that, as we get older, we can keep playing sport, we can keep moving and we can stay healthy and independent."
Congratulations to all the successful applicants, we look forward to seeing the benefit of this funding in 2016.
