Galway City Council has announced the allocations of funding under this year’s Sports Club Grants Scheme, with a total of €134,200 being allocated to 50 different clubs.
Twenty-nine clubs received the maximum grant amount of €3,500 and seven others received €2,000 or more.
A wide range of sports is represented from mainstream to minority sports. The funding will go towards the costs of equipment, coaching, travel as well as a significant level going towards upskilling volunteers.
The Sports Club Grants Scheme assists the good work being delivered on the ground by the many dedicated volunteers across all sports.
Galway City Council thanked Galway Sports Partnership for administering the grant on behalf of the local authority.
