Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is hosting drop-in information sessions about  its Everybody Active Grants Programme

The funding scheme is open to local projects which aim to promote and increase participation in physical activity and its development within the Borough.

The drop in information workshops will provide an opportunity for groups to discuss the funding programme and any potential projects they are considering for the application process.

The workshops take place on Tuesday 30th July 2019 in the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre, Ballymoney and Thursday 1st August 2019 in the Large Committee Room at Council’s Civic Headquarters in Coleraine both sessions are scheduled for 6pm – 7.30pm.

Through the Everybody Active grants programme, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council will consider up to 100% funding towards total eligible costs, up to a maximum of £1000.

Priority will be given to projects which aim to increase participation among traditionally underrepresented groups. This includes women and girls, people with a disability and those living in areas of greatest social need (specifically people living within the top 25% of wards designated by NI Multiple Deprivation Measure Index 2010).

All applications must demonstrate how the grant will be used to contribute towards the outcomes of the Causeway Coast and Glens Community Plan.
