€21,500 allocated in Sports Partnership participation grants

THE Mayo Sports Partnership Special Project Participation Initiative Grants presentation event took place yesterday (Monday) evening. At the event, funding of €21,500 was allocated to 47 sports and community groups by Mayo Sports Partnership.

The attendance included Minister Michael Ring and the cathaoirleach of Mayo County Council, Councillor Brendan Mulroy.

Commented Minister Ring: “In supporting clubs and organisations through this annual small grant scheme, Mayo Sports Partnership recognises the vital role that sport is playing in our communities. Without volunteers sport just would not happen and it is vital that we continue to support them in their hugely important work.

I also want to commend Charlie Lambert and his team in Mayo Sports Partnership for the great work they do in increasing participation in sport and physical activity.”
