GO FOR LIFE –

NATIONAL GRANT SCHEME FOR OLDER ADULTS

 

One of the main elements of the Go for Life Programme is the National Grant Scheme for Sport and Physical Activity for Older People. Running since November 2001, each year we allocate money to local groups all over the country, who are seeking to provide increased opportunities for older people to participate in sport and physical activity.

 

The Grant Scheme is administered by the Steering Committee of Go for Life – the National Programme for Sport and Physical Activity for Older People. Developed by the Irish Sports Council and Age & Opportunity, it has, in the past ten years, allocated almost €3 million.

 

Any local group seeking to provide increased opportunities for older people to participate in sport and physical activity may apply for a grant.  Grants range from €300 to €700 and are typically used by groups to either purchase equipment or used so that members may explore a new sporting activity.  In previous years, successful applicants have included active retirement associations, senior citizens clubs, ICA guilds, sports clubs, day centres and community centres in 26 counties.

The Go For Life Grant Scheme is currently closed- please log onto www.ageandopportunity.ie for more information
