Deadline: 11 November 2015
The Kilkenny Recreation & Sports Parternership, through its Women in Sport Initiative is seeking applications from groups, clubs and organizations in Ireland for its Women in Sports Funding 2015.
The “Women in Sport Initiative” was developed to raise overall physical activity levels among women and to support women’s roles within sports organisations.
Less than one in five Irish women came close to accumulating 30 minutes of physical activity per day, for at least five days per week, as recommended by the World Health Organisation for good health. More than three quarters of Irish women do some recreational physical activity such as walking, swimming or aerobics, but that the majority do so with insufficient regularity or intensity of effort to meet the minimum standard.
Kilkenny Recreation and Sports Partnerships are particularly interested in developing initiatives in designated disadvantaged areas of for minority populations or groups with special needs.
