A total of 61 groups in Tipperary are celebrating the awarding of grants to fund physical activity for older people.
The ‘Go for Life Grant Scheme’ from Age & Opportunity and Sport Ireland is awarding over 16 thousand euro to groups – such as ICA’s, Community Councils and Sports Clubs- around the county.
Tipperary Sports Partnership has been awarded the top sum in the county of 1,700 euro.
The aim of the grants is to improve the health and wellbeing of older people, by providing them with opportunities to engage in physical activity and sport – such as Tai Chi, Ballroom Dancing, and Archery.
