A new funding boost for a Macedon Ranges sporting program will help support community sport.
Sports Focus, a regional sports not-for-profit that aims to provide better support to sporting clubs in central Victoria, has received $600,000 through the latest round of the state government’s Together More Active Program.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas made the announcement alongside Bendigo MPs Jacinta Allan and Maree Edwards, and Ripon MP Martha Haylett about the grant, which will see more sporting clubs empowered to become safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces for the broader community.
“By helping our local organisations build safe, inclusive and resilient environments we are ensuring that people of all ages and all abilities can take part in sports they love,” Ms Thomas said.
Together More Active draws on the power of sport to make a difference; helping organisations to create environments that boost participation and support volunteer skills development.
This funding is part of more than $8.1 million statewide, funding 58 projects.
