Thousands of young athletes and budding sport stars will benefit from free sporting uniforms and equipment in the latest round of the Australian Sports Foundation’s (ASF) Active Kids Grants.
More than $392,000 has been awarded to 90 community sports clubs across every state and territory, which will benefit more than 17,000 young sports people.
3,626 individual uniform items and 6,926 pieces of equipment will be given to volunteer-run clubs across 26 sporting codes, including athletics, basketball, cricket, cycling, football, hockey, netball, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.
The Active Kids Grants are courtesy of the ASF in partnership with philanthropic organisation The Dickinson Foundation, which has donated the funding to improve the physical and mental health of Australian children by encouraging them to participate in sport.
