Armadale and Gosnells groups encouraged to apply for grants

Ben SmithComment News

COMMUNITY, government and sporting groups within the cities of Armadale and Gosnells are being prioritised by the State Government for grant applications.

The Targeted Participation Program helps community organisations such as clubs, state sporting associations and local governments to promote participation in sport and active recreation.

Projects must increase participation in physical activity, encourage pathways into community sport and active recreation and create quality, affordable opportunities to engage groups which would not usually participate.
