A million dollar commitment
The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) has shown its commitment to grassroots sport by awarding $1.1 million to 472 sporting clubs across Victoria.
Around 70 cricket clubs were awarded with funds that will allow them to purchase sports injury prevention and management equipment, essential sporting equipment and volunteer training.
“It’s great to see our cricket clubs being rewarded,” Cricket Victoria Chief Executive Office Tony Dodemaide said.
“We thank VicHealth for providing our clubs with the opportunity to receive funds.”
Funds will help cricket clubs to prepare for the up-coming season by assisting them with the off-season planning in getting clubs ready.
With over 930 applications received from across the state, the grants will allow grassroots sports to continue to grow.
“Small community sports organisations sometimes struggle to buy essential equipment and fund training for new volunteers,” VicHealth Chief Executive Officer Jerril Rechter said.
“VicHealth’s Active Clubs Grants recognise the important role local clubs play in increasing physical activity and helping communities stay connected, even when times are tough.”
