Cork City Council and Cork Sports Partnership are coordinating a new City Physical Activity Amenity Scheme to support community groups and organisations who want to introduce physical activity or improve their facilities so that it can used more for physical activity.
The scheme will look to build the capacity of non-commercial community facilities and amenities to increase access and provide more opportunities for physical activity across Cork City. These facilities and amenities are key to the delivery of physical activity opportunities and events for people of all ages and abilities across the city.
These non-commercial community facilities will provide opportunities for their respective communities to be active through physical activity and cannot have received funding for items included in their application from any other scheme to date.
The scheme will see an investment of €225,000 to support existing community facilities with upgrades and enhancements to increase and enhance use from a physical activity perspective. Funding for the scheme has been secured through the Sports and Sustainability section of Cork City Council following agreement with the 5 Local Area Committees of Cork City Council, as well as through the Active Cities project being coordinated by Cork Sports Partnership.
Please note that only city-based groups and organisations will be considered as part of this particular scheme.
Closing date for receipt of applications is 5pm on Friday 26th January 2024.
