Rural sports funding open
If you’re involved with a rural sports club or school sports team, you may be eligible for funding.
Council makes funding available through the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund, which was established in 2003 to remove the barrier of cost to participation for those in rural communities.
Its purpose is to encourage rural youth aged 5 to 18 to get involved in local sports despite their location, Council’s Community Partnerships Support Natalie Lawler said.
Funding is available for rural sports clubs or rural school teams needing financial help for transport to sporting competitions in the Marlborough area.
Applications can be made online at www.marlborough.govt.nz/our-community/grants-and-awards/sport-nz-rural-travel-fund
Applications are open now and close 8am on Wednesday 13 March.
