Go for Life National Grant Scheme for Older People

The Irish Sports Council and Age & Opportunity are delighted to announce the 7th round of the Go for Life National Grant Scheme for Sport and Physical Activity for Older People.  Since 2001 over three thousand grants totalling €1.93 million have been distributed to local clubs and organisations and this money has been used by older people to purchase equipment and to take part in activity programmes.  This year €350,000 will be made available to local groups to enable their older members to become more involved in sport and physical activity.

Go for Life is the national programme for sport and physical activity for older people and is an Age & Opportunity initiative funded by the Irish Sports Council.
