Carlow Sports Partnership is once again launching the Local Sports Participation Grant Scheme. This fund aims to assist existing clubs and community groups that have physical activity and sport as their primary activity and encourage the set-up of new clubs and groups to promote physical activity and sport. The National Sports Policy 2018 – 2027 highlights the need to prioritise support for minority sports and low participation groups including young people, females, people with a disability, ethnic minorities, older adults, ethnic and clubs/groups located in disadvantaged areas.

For 2023 the maximum grant available is €2,000 per club. Please note that capital projects are not eligible under this grant scheme.
