KidSport

The State Government has committed $20 million towards the Sport4All initiative. Sport4All will run over four years and aims to increase participation in community sport and recreation throughout Western Australia.

Part of Sport4All is the KidSport grant. KidSport focuses on enabling WA children to participate in community sport and recreation, no matter their financial circumstances.

The City of Joondalup has been successful in receiving funds from the Department of Sport and Recreation to administer the KidSport funding program. This fantastic new program provides up to $200 financial assistance to eligible children.

Funding is available for the winter 2012 season.
