The purpose of the Sport in the North grants program is to increase sporting participation in the northern suburbs of Geelong, focusing on Corio and Norlane.
It is recognised that sporting clubs in Corio and Norlane need additional support and resources with these suburbs of Geelong experiencing very high rates of disadvantaged youth. This grant program has been established to predominately support all junior sports up to the age of 19. As such, this grant program will offer three grant categories that provide opportunities for sporting activities to take place:
- Athlete Membership and Uniforms
- Equipment and Club Mentor Development
- Club Incentive Reward
This grant program is an initiative of local politicians, Richard Marles and John Eren and supported by key sponsors.
