Three Wimmera sporting groups will receive money in the latest round of VicHealth Active Club Grants funding.
Horsham Golf Club has a $2000 grant to introduce an entry-level coaching program for teenage girls and Wimmera District Golf will have $2678 to introduce Golf Australia’s MyGolf program, a program for boys and girls aged nine to 14 to learn how to play golf.
Coughlin Park Bowls Club in Horsham will also receive $900 to introduce Bowls Victoria’s Jack Attack program to increase the participation of mothers, school children, people living with disabilities and older adults through a modified and fast-paced version of bowls.
Member for Lowan Emma Kealy, in congratulating the organisations, said one of the key focuses of the funding round was to provide more opportunities for women and girls to become active through sport.
