The Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme offers financial supports – provided by Sport Ireland – to local clubs, groups and organisations, nationwide who promote increased participation in recreational sport or physical activity for older people.
The Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme 2022 is now open for applications.
We recognise the impact that Covid 19 has had on older peoples’ participation in sport and physical activity over the last two years. Therefore, within this 2022 Grant there are specific allocations aimed at encouraging older people back to sport and their clubs. We also recognise the impact Covid 19 has had on those living in nursing homes and attending day care settings so we are opening up the grant this year to all public and private nursing homes and day care settings.
