Grants to spread sporting load

Forrest MHR Nola Marino is urging young athletes to apply for a Local Sporting Champions grant to support their involvement in sport.

Mrs Marino said Local Sporting Champions grants provide an ideal opportunity for young sportsmen and women to gain financial assistance to help them turn their sporting dreams into a reality.

“These $500 grants provide financial assistance to athletes, coaches and officials, to go towards travel, accommodation, uniforms or equipment when attending endorsed State, national or international championships,” she said.
