Sports grants for Camden clubs

Successful clubs in the $3.9 million Local Sport Grant Program included:

Camden MP Peter Sidgreaves said the grants would help local clubs to get more people involved in sport.

"Sport is a way of life in our community," he said.

"These grants provide essential funds to our local clubs for programs, equipment and facilities that will enable more people of all ages and abilities to participate in sport."

Minister for Tourism and Sport Stuart Ayres said bringing communities together through sport provided many social, heath and economic benefits.

"Getting together with teammates on a weekend or mid-week to play sport is so important for our physical and mental health," he said.

"Projects funded by the Local Sport Grant Program will play a vital role in bringing communities together and give people the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sport.

"With community sporting competitions returning to normal following two pandemic-affected seasons, these grants will support both people returning to sport and those participating for the first time."

Grants up to $20,000 were available under the program with up to $50,000 available in each electorate.
